Whitecaps trade Ousted to D.C. United, transfer Adekugbe to Norwegian club
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps traded veteran goalkeeper David Ousted to D.C. United on Monday, hours after transferring Canadian defender Sam Adekugbe to Valerenga Fotball of Norway’s top division.
Neither move came as a shock, with both players having fallen out of favour with the Major League Soccer club.
The deal for Ousted sees Vancouver get the 26th pick in this month’s MLS SuperDraft. United announced that the Dane, who will turn 33 on Feb. 1, has agreed to a new two-year contract.
Ousted spent five seasons with the Whitecaps after joining the club as a free agent in June 2013, going 58-53-39 in his 151 starts.
