RSL has struggled with capitalizing on scoring opportunities for the majority of the season.
The Arango signing aimed to address that shortcoming.
He showed very quickly that he could provide just that for the club.

Arango will join a squad that is trending up and recently entered the top 10 of MLS’ Power Rankings.
