Midfielder Sean Fraser, dropped from the national team for the Reggae Boyz' game on Wednesday against Peru, could be next in line among Jamaicans to play professional football in Brazil.
Indications are that Fraser, who was called to train with the Boyz in preparation for the friendly international but was not named in the final squad, could join Boavista Sport Club in Rio de Janiero later this month on <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">loan</SPAN> from his team Miami F.C. of the United Soccer Leagues (USL), a first-year club in America's second-tier competition.
"Everything is taken care of," said a source familiar with the situation recently.
Not clear
The source said a deal has been ironed out between Miami F.C. and the Brazilian club. However, it is not clear if either party has signed off on it.
When asked about the possible deal, Fraser said he would welcome the chance to play in the South American country, which has produced some of the greatest players the game has known and has won the World Cup a record five times.
"It would be a wonderful opportunity," said the 25-year-old, who is currently training in <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Jamaica</SPAN>. "I would look forward to it because they play the style I like."
However, he declined to publicly comment on any deal, referring a reporter to officials at Miami F.C.
