San Diego FC made significant moves in the expansion draft, adding three players to their roster and trading two of their five selections. The club acquired goalkeeper CJ dos Santos from Inter Miami CF and defender Chris McVey from DC United before the draft.
The current roster stands at 13, with a mix of experienced veterans and young talent. One notable pick is Norwegian youth international midfielder Bruseth, who was signed by Orlando City SC this summer after long negotiations. The 20-year-old has already made 45 first-team appearances and will bring his versatility to the team.
Another key signing is Löffelsend, a solid rotational player who can play fullback or central midfield. The 27-year-old has made 69 appearances in his first three MLS seasons and will provide depth to the team.
The trades also brought financial boosts to the club. The deal for Kijima boosted the GAM war chest immediately, while Andrade brought a young player in the draft that will be cap-friendly. The club is now focused on adding more high-priced players to their roster, with sporting director Tyler Heaps stating that they are close to making another designated player signing.
The new additions come as San Diego FC orbits around star winger Chucky Lozano, who was acquired from PSV Eindhoven this summer. Lozano will be tasked with driving the team forward from day one, and is expected to be a key piece of the puzzle. With a mix of experienced veterans and young talent, the club is well-positioned for success in their inaugural season.
