New Forward Arrives to Join RSL
While everybody else is busy with preparations for the MLS All-Star Game, the RSL coaches are preparing to welcome their newest player.

Forward Rachid El Khalifi arrived in town tonight, a team official confirmed, and is expected to join the team in training for the first time in the morning. El Khalifi is joining RSL from SC Cambuur in the Dutch Second Division, as a potential replacement for Yura Movsisyan, who's leaving at the end of the season to join Randers FC in Denmark.

Coincidentally, Movsisyan was named MLS Player of the Week earlier today, after scoring twice in RSL's stunning come-from-behind 4-2 victory over FC Dallas at home last week.
