Impact Blessing tallied 15 goals and 14 assists in 151 MLS appearances across five seasons with LAFC since he joined the club in the 2018 Expansion Draft, but he fell out of the starting lineup last season with the arrivals of Ilie Sanchez and Kellyn Acosta. After winning the 2022 MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield, the 26-year-old is now moving to New England, where he will be competing with Matt Polster, Thomas McNamara and Lucas Maciel for spots in the midfield.
