TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Rumor

The new year will bring with it a new starting goalkeeper for D.C. United, and that starting goalkeeper might be David Ousted.

Twitter handle GlassCityFC tweeted on Saturday that Ousted has been traded by the Vancouver Whitecaps to D.C. United. Vancouver is reportedly getting a late-round draft pick in exchange for the 32-year-old netminder.

Word is the return for Ousted is a late round draft pick. No guarantee he signs with DC United though, as he already has 3-4 good offers on the table. #VWFC #DCU #MLS — GlassCity (@GlassCityFC) December 24, 2017

D.C. have to replace long-time No. 1 goalkeeper Bill Hamid in 2018 after his decision to leave to play in Europe, and Ousted could be the successor given that Vancouver have chosen to not pick up his option. However, while D.C. now hold Ousted's MLS rights, he could still sign abroad for

If Ousted does sign, he would be the third goalkeeper on D.C.'s roster after Steve Clark and Travis Worra.
