The first thing to raise is that the improvement and continual progression of North American soccer continues to move at an incredible pace. Players from both the United States and Canada are making the switch to Europa at an increased pace as evidence of this.
Arsenal have jumped on this trend by signing both Matt Turner and Auston Trusty. However, the latest potential move for an MLS star raises questions regarding how the Gunners view a critical position in need of strength.
As reported by the Evening Standard after initial suggestions from Uruguay, Arsenal are said to be tracking Orlando City’s Facundo Torres. The Uruguayan international has nine goals and eight assists in 33 MLS appearances so far, and even scored against the Gunners in the pre=season friendly between the two sides earlier this year.
