The Philadelphia Union acquired forward Sam Adeniran from St. Louis SC on Thursday for a guaranteed $150,000 in 2024 general allocation money.

St. Louis City also can receive an additional guaranteed $300,000 in GAM over the next two years provided certain undisclosed performance incentives are met.

"Sam is a domestic player who is eligible to start with club and be a reinforcement to our striker unit effective immediately," Union sporting director Ernst Tanner said. "He's a strong player whose physical presence has shown to be effective up top, and we look forward to integrating him with the team quickly."

Adeniran, 25, has recorded two goals and an assist in 17 appearances (four starts) this season. He has 10 goals and two assists in 39 career matches (17 starts) with the Seattle Sounders (2021-22) and St. Louis City.
