Real Zaragoza have moved to boost their attacking options by signing William Agada following his exit from Real Salt Lake.
The Nigerian forward joins the Spanish club on a free transfer after his contract expired in December, bringing pace, energy and proven scoring ability ahead of the run-in.
William Agada adds pace and goals to Real Zaragoza attack
Agada arrives at the Spanish side with a deal that runs until June 2026. Born in Bauchi, Nigeria, the 25-year-old is known for his speed and flexibility in the final third, capable of playing as a central striker or attacking from wide areas.
The move marks Agada’s first experience in Spanish football. His arrival also comes at a key moment as the club looks for more cutting edge up front.
From Israel to MLS: Agada’s journey before Zaragoza
Before joining Real Zaragoza, Agada built his reputation across Israel and the United States.
He enjoyed his most productive spell at Hapoel Jerusalem, where he scored more than 30 goals in 100 appearances.
During the 2020–21 season, he also featured for Hapoel Haifa, contributing six goals and four assists in 26 matches.
In 2022, Agada moved to Major League Soccer with Sporting Kansas City. His impact was immediate, registering 24 goals and six assists in 77 games.
Those performances earned him a transfer to Real Salt Lake, where he played during the 2025 season, scoring three goals and adding two assists in 26 appearances.
Now a free agent, Agada has chosen the Spanish team as the next step in his career, with the club confident his experience and work rate will translate well to Spanish football.
Real Zaragoza confirmed the signing with a short message to supporters, welcoming the forward and wishing him success in his new chapter with the club.
