TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Union<\/a> have acquired forward Ezekiel Alladoh from Swedish top-flight side IF Brommapojkarna, the club announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old Ghanaian is under contract through 2028 with options for 2029 and 2030. He arrives for a club-record transfer fee that’s reportedly<\/a> around $4.5 million.<\/p>\n While at Brommapojkarna, Alladoh recorded 8g\/1a in 32 matches across all competitions. He began his career with Accra Lions in the Ghana Premier League, netting 3g\/1a in 13 games before moving to Sweden last January.<\/p>\n “Ezekiel is a talented young striker who has shown encouraging potential in a competitive European league,” said Philadelphia head coach Bradley Carnell, the 2025 Sigi Schmid MLS Coach of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n “His pace, directness, and vertical movement provide a strong foundation, and at 6-foot-3, he brings strength and an undeniable presence to the position.<\/p>\n “His work rate and high-level mentality align well with our system, and we\u2019re excited to welcome him to Philadelphia as he continues to develop his game.”<\/p>\n Philly have now broken their club-record transfer in back-to-back years. Ahead of the 2025 campaign, they acquired forward Bruno Damiani<\/a> from Uruguayan powerhouse Nacional.<\/p>\n The Union won the 2025 Supporters’ Shield (66) in their first season under Carnell. However, they were upset by New York City FC<\/a> in the Eastern Conference Semifinals of the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs.<\/p>\n Israeli international Tai Baribo<\/a> (16 goals) was Philly’s leading scorer this past season, followed by Damiani (seven goals). Notably, DP striker Mikael Uhre is out of contract<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing The Philadelphia Union have acquired forward Ezekiel Alladoh from Swedish top-flight side IF Brommapojkarna,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,10227,10226,26410],"class_list":{"0":"post-52828","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-philadelphia","9":"tag-philadelphia-headlines","10":"tag-philadelphia-news","11":"tag-philadelphia-union","12":"tag-sendtonews","13":"tag-transfer-tracker"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
