Quentin Westberg is expected to re-sign with Atlanta United, possibly as early as this weekend, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Depending upon Brad Guzan’s decision to return or retire, the signing should complete the team’s goalkeeping group after it announced Josh Cohen on Thursday.

Westberg’s new contract is expected to be for one year.
Born in Paris, Westberg is a dual national. He chose to represent the U.S. internationally. Before joining Toronto, Westberg played for Auxerre in France’s second division, where he made 20 appearances.
