Agada, 22, has tallied 37 goals across four seasons in Israel.
"I am so excited to be joining Sporting KC," Agada said. "It is a dream to play for a club like this and I hope to come in and help the team succeed. This is a great opportunity for me and I can't wait to compete in front of the fans in Kansas City."
