The long-awaited arrival of Kenny Cooper will occur Thursday, when the Timbers introduce their high-profile player.

The team has scheduled a news conference that will be held at the Adidas North American headquarters in North Portland.

Cooper is without question the Timbers' most publicized acquisition. The Timbers signed him to a contract after he played for two seasons with TSV 1860 Munich, a team in Germany's second division. The forward played for four seasons with FC Dallas, where he scored 40 goals in 90 games for the team.
