The New England Revolution have acquired Nigerian central midfielder Alhassan Yusuf from Belgian club Royal Antwerp FC for an undisclosed fee.

The team signed the 24-year-old using the season ending injury replacement mechanism. Yusuf, a TAM-eligible player, will occupy an international roster spot and is signed through the 2027 Major League Soccer season, with a club option for 2028.

He will join the Revolution pending receipt of his P-1 visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC).

Yusuf, 24, joins the Revolution after three years in the Belgian topflight with Royal Antwerp, where he won three trophies, including the 2022-23 Belgian Pro League championship, and 2022-23 Belgian Cup, and was named the club’s Player of the Month in August 2022. In the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League, Yusuf played in all six games for Antwerp, registering a goal in his first start against FC Porto and adding an assist against FC Barcelona later in the group stage.
