INCOMING: Finish International Aki Riihilahti to San Jose Earthquakes (DONE DEAL)

It appears that the league's latest European import hails from the land of the ice and snow, Finland.

The 32 year old veteran midfielder, who formerly played with Crystal Palace, last played for Djurgårdens IF and has 69 caps for the Finnish national team.

The source indicated that Riihilahti signed his contract over the weekend, and all that remained to be done was for MLS to approve the contract, at which point the signing will be officially announced, probably some time this week.
