The MLS Multiplex team has named Nicolas Lodeiro as the best signing of the 2016 season. The Sounders signed the Uruguayan international from Boca Juniors on July 27th and he instantly was starting for the Rave Green just 4 days later in a home match against the LA Galaxy. He only played in 13 regular season matches this season but that didn’t stop him from scoring 4 goals and picking up 8 assists as he was named the MLS New Comer of the Year.

His efforts didn’t just stop there, though. Lodeiro went on the score 4 more goals for the Sounders in the MLS Cup Playoffs and his creativity led Seattle to their first ever MLS Cup Trophy. Now that he is fully acclimated to the league, one can only imagine what the 27-year-old playmaker is capable of doing next season for the Sounders.
