Apparently the Sounders have come to a deal in signing Swedish midfielder Erik Friberg, the MLS only need to clear him first. Judging by this highlights video of his performance in the 2009 season with his club BK Hacken he will certainly be an excellent addition to the team:

Seeing the void left by the loss of Sturgis and Nyassi this is fantastic news. The positions can certainly be filled by current Sounders (Brad Evans and Alvaro Fernandez respectively), but with the addition of Friberg there will definitely be competition for a starting position.
This news just adds to my incredible impatience for the 2011 season to arrive. The Sounders now have new defenders (Baudet, Earls from the Colorado Rapids), a new striker (O'brien White from Toronto FC) and now a new, capable mid-fielder. I cannot wait to see every one of these guys in rave green, and what they can contribute to the team.
