Latif Blessing - LAFC - Close up

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Report


LAFC midfielder Latif Blessing is continuing to draw interest from Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, according to various reports, with a story from Football Ghana claiming that on a one-year loan with a purchase option has been agreed,


Blessing has remained linked in the Brazilian press with a move away from the 2019 Supportersā€™ Shield winners, though head coach Bob Bradley said last week that heā€™s not heard of such offers.

Even further, there are reports that Vascoā€™s board has denied reaching any agreement to sign Blessing. It adds that interest remains, but nothing is finalized.

However things materialize, Blessing remains a key piece for LAFC. He has four assists in 17 games (16 starts) this season, cementing his place as one of MLSā€™s most-versatile players. The 23-year-old can play in midfield, plus at winger and outside back.


Originally picked in the 2017 Expansion Draft from Sporting Kansas City, Blessing has transformed from a wide player to box-to-box midfielder with a tireless work rate. He was previously named the 2016 Ghana Premier League player of the year while at Liberty Professionals.
