New York Red Bulls: Realistic expectations for Mathias Jorgensen

With Bradley Wright-Phillips turning 34 next month, the New York Red Bulls made a splash in the transfer market when the purchase of 18-year old Mathias Jorgensen was confirmed early Tuesday morning.

The club used Target Allocation Money to bring him in. But how will head coach Chris Armas, who enters his first full season at the helm in 2019, use the young player? Will he be a key contributor? Or will be a player who is still developing and getting acclimated to MLS in his first season with the club while seeing sporadic action when Wright-Phillips needs a rest?
