Chivas USA announced Wednesday that it has traded forward Alecko
Eskandarian to the Los Angeles Galaxy for allocation money and a
conditional pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft.
"This move allows us greater flexibility in terms of our roster and
salary budget," said Chivas USA head coach Preki in a statement. "We
would like to thank Alecko for his contributions to our club. We wish
him the best."
The 26-year-old Eskandarian is becoming something of an MLS journeyman
as the Galaxy will be his fifth club in six years. The move follows
three seasons as a D.C. United player, one split between Toronto FC
and Real Salt Lake, and a season-and-a-half with Chivas.
A native of Montvale, N.J., Eskandarian has scored 28 goals in his MLS
career and has also been capped by the U.S. national team on one
occasion.
