Former Sheffield United defender Nickseon Gomis could become a top MLS defender.
That is the view of Toronto FC boss John Herdman, who was impressed by Gomis during a trial.
Toronto hope they can hold onto the defender for some time, with the 22-year-old likely to attract interest in Europe if he does fulfill his potential.
For us, he's come as advertised and he's growing in confidence," stated Herdman.
I think his durability is what we're building, he hasn't been able to really sustain those 90 minutes under his belt.
His preseason was interrupted by a concussion, his season was interrupted by his wrist injury.
"When he gets that in, this is a player that is going to be one of the top center-backs in MLS this season. That's the expectation I have for him and the pressure we've been putting on him."
