Red Bulls acquire Saer Sene from New England Revolution

The Red Bulls completed one of the moves sporting director Andy Roxburgh had alluded to, trading Tuesday for New England’s Saer Sene. The Red Bulls sent the Revolution allocation cash and little-used striker Andre Akpan, whom The Post reported last week was on the trading block.

“Saer is a player that many teams in the league will always be intrigued by. He has a great stature and build and he likes to get forward,’’ coach Mike Petke said. “It’s a good situation for Andre to get up there and get some games, and a good option for us to add attacking power for the final weeks of the season.’’

The 27-year-old Sene can play as a striker but has also been deployed out wide and he took a hefty pay cut to join the Revolution. He is making a guaranteed $163,682.54, with a base salary of $152,145.00, according to the player’s union.
