Real Salt Lake has holes to fill following a series of major moves last week.
Gone are star striker Chicho Arango, veteran midfielder Matt Crooks and up-and-coming goalkeeper Gavin Beavers.
So who’s in?
On Monday, RSL added 20-year-old center back Kobi Henry via loan from the French team Reims, where he played for the club’s B squad. The 6-foot-2 Henry is a U.S. Youth International, who came up through the Orlando City and Inter Miami youth academies.
Henry isn’t the only new player expected to arrive in Salt Lake as preseason training begins this week. RSL is expected to add a striker, a winger and a goalkeeper in the near future, according to a team source.
RSL will play its first competitive game of the year on Feb. 19 when the team travels to Costa Rica for a CONCACAF Champions Cup match against CS Herediano. Salt Lake opens Major League Soccer play at San Jose against Arango and his new Earthquake teammates on Feb. 22.
