FC Dallas announced today that the club has acquired Haitian winger Louicius Don Deedson from Danish side Odense Boldklub. Deedson signed a deal through 2028 with options for 2029 and 2030. He will occupy an international slot on the roster, pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
The deal was first reported earlier in the week by Tom Bogert and said to be a $1m transfer fee. We discussed a few thoughts on the potential move then, and will have more below.
Deedson spent two seasons with Odense Boldklub (OB). He made his debut as a substitute on July 23, 2023, against Randers FC. Over the next two seasons, Deedson scored 15 goals and registered 10 assists in all competitions. In 2025, OB finished atop of the NordicBet Liga to earn promotion to the Danish Superliga, the top division of soccer in Denmark.
Before OB, Deedson started his professional playing career with Hobro IK, signing in August 2019 at the age of 18. He made his professional debut on Dec. 6, 2019, against AC Horsens. During his time with the club, Deedson competed in the Danish Superliga, Betina Liga, and Oddset Pokalen. The Haitian international departed from the club with 22 goals, eight assists, and 82 appearances in all competitions from 2019-2023.
A Kalonji SA product, Deedson played three years for the Academy, and most notably helped the club become the 2019 US U18 Youth National Champions with his brace and one assist in the 7-0 win over Solar.
The 24-year-old represents the Haitian national team. A native of Tabarre, Haiti, Deedson made his international debut on March 25, 2021, against Belize in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers. Since then, he has earned 22 caps, eight goals, and eight assists with Les Grenadiers. Most recently, Deedson featured for Haiti in the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament and scored against the USA in the 19th minute on June 22.

BDS Take
Given the length of the deal and the lack of mentions of TAM being involved, Deedson will likely earn somewhere in the $200-300k range when the fall salary guides come out. In short, he won't be a massive salary cap hit.
I still see him as replacing what Leo Chu was on the salary cap for FC Dallas in 2025 (a U22 slot, which was $200k against the cap). I also think this isn't a great bit of news for someone like Enes Sali (whose loan will be expiring soon).
What do you all make of this signing? It feels like one that is more for 2026 than it is for 2025.
