The 2022 MLS Superdraft is nearly upon us and the biggest surprise was the inclusion of Charlie Asensio’s name on the list of draft-eligible players. Clemson’s senior left-back Charlie Asensio was widely expected to join Atlanta United on a homegrown contract, especially with rumors swirling about George Bello’s European interest. With Caleb Wiley and Andrew Gutman waiting in the wings and Aidan McFadden impressing with the 2s, the club may be less inclined to bring in a fullback though right-back remains an option.
Earlier this week, TopDrawerSoccer picked a goalkeeper for Atlanta United in their first mock of the upcoming MLS Superdraft, and I could not disagree more with their pick.
