Raheem Edwards might be another example of this, as he put on another strong showing against RSL. The Canadian was the main attacking threat for Chicago as he continued to run up and down the right wing. He put constant pressure on the Salt Lake defense, and even forced a couple of turnovers that his teammates could do nothing with.
Taken from Montreal in exchange for $400,000 Targeted Allocation Money, it seems like the Fire have a quality player in Edwards, who still is only 23.
The winger has risen through the ranks at Toronto and was selected by LAFC in the expansion draft before being sent to Montreal. Now, with Chicago having the option of keeping him all the way through to 2020, perhaps he can settle down and perform as his talent suggests.
