Midfielder Lee Nguyen returned to the club where he arguably played the best soccer of his career.

New England Revolution announced on Tuesday that they have acquired Nguyen in a trade with Inter Miami CF. In order to get the 33-year-old midfielder, Revolution sent a fourth-round pick in 2021 and up to $50,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM) if the player hits certain marks with his new club.

Nguyen leaves Miami after playing just 92 minutes in five games this season.

“Lee Nguyen is a player with a proven history in our league. His ability as both a playmaker and goal scorer will complement our roster,” said the club’s sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena. “We are excited to have Lee return to our club and city, and we look forward to his contributions as we close out the 2020 season.”

Lee Nguyen wore New England’s jersey between 2012 and 2018, playing 206 games for the club and contributing with 52 goals and 49 assists during that period. Nguyen also earned one MLS Best XI selection during his time with the organization.

“New England is where I had some of the best and most memorable moments of my professional career, so having the opportunity to come back here is an incredible feeling,” said Nguyen.

Nguyen started his career with PSV Eindhoven and has also played in Denmark and Vietnam. He spent the previous two seasons with LAFC, before being selected in MLS Expansion Draft by Inter.

LAFC have been quite busy in past couple of days. The team first traded for New England Revolution attacking midfielder Lee Nguyen and then signed former Hull City forward Adama Diomande on the same day.

In order to get Lee Nguyen, who requested to be traded earlier this year, LAFC gave up $700,000 in allocation money with further $250,000 and 2019 or 2020 first-round draft pick going to Revolution as well if certain conditions are met. According to ESPN, Revolution had better offers from some of the Eastern Conference teams for Nguyen but was reluctant to trade the player within the conference.

Lee Nguyen joined New England Revolution in 2012 and established himself as one of the team’s most valuable players. During the six seasons he spent with the team, the 31-year-old scored 54 goals and had 56 assists in 211 league and cup appearances. He was also the finalist for the 2014 Major League Soccer MVP Award. Nguyen also had nine appearances for the USMNT.

“We are excited to add Adama to our Club,” – said LAFC general manager John Thorrington. “Adama is a dangerous striker who will add another element to our attack. He has top-level international and club experience, and, with his familiarity with Bob, we expect him to contribute immediately. In Adama, we are signing another very good player in the prime of his career.“

In LAFC he will be reunited with coach Bob Bradley, after previously working under him at Norway’s Stabaek.

“Adama is a quality goalscorer who brings the experience of playing at a high level in Europe,” – said Bradley. “We believe he will have a strong impact in MLS.“
