Acosta, 29, leads FC Cincinnati with 10 goals and seven assists in 20 games this season. He has served as team captain 79 times in his two-plus seasons with the club.
Acosta is an MLS All-Star for the second straight season. He had 10 goals — a MLS career-high he initially set in 2018 — and a career-best 19 assists.
The environment will be familiar for Acosta as he spent four seasons with D.C. United (2016-19) earlier in his career.
