Warri-born defender, Sebastien Ibeagha, has vowed to unleash ‘terror’ with his scintillating performance against any opponent in the American MLS for Los Angeles FC after his successful departure from New York City FC.
Los Angeles FC acquired the star performer from New York City FC in exchange for $150,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM).
The Point gathered that LAFC will receive an additional $50,000 in GAM if certain incentives are met.
Ibeagha is credited with 64 appearances in the American top-flight, all of them in the colours of New York City, where he spent three years.
The 29-year-old began his career at the Houston Dynamo Academy before enjoying a collegiate career at Duke University from 2010-2013.
His first professional club was AC Horsens in Denmark and had loan spells with FC Fredericia and Fram Reykjavík before returning to America to sign for Houston Dynamo in 2016.
“Sebastien is a key acquisition for us at this stage of the season,” LAFC Co-President and General Manager, John Thorrington, stated.
“With his experience, we believe he will be a great fit and is an important addition to our Club.”
Ibeagha, a former United States U20 international, was named the 2017 USL Defender of the Year and was also named to the 2017 USL All-League First Team.
