United acquires Monteiro from Fire

Soccer Betting Lines

09/14/2007 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.C. United announced Friday the club has acquired Jerson Monteiro from the Chicago Fire in exchange for a conditional 2008 MLS SuperDraft pick. Uniteds roster included an open developmental spot for the 22-year old forward. The trade comes the day of the Leagues trade deadline and roster freeze.

"We are pleased to acquire a young striker, who we believe has the potential to flourish in our environment," United Technical Director Dave Kasper said.

Monteiro was originally selected by the Fire in the first round of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft as the eighth overall selection. The Angolan native received his green card earlier this year and thus will count as a domestic player on Uniteds roster.

This year, Monteiro has seen time in five Major League Soccer matches, including one start, notching a goal in 154 minutes on the pitch. His tally came against D.C. in a 3-1 win on June 16.
