The New York Red Bulls have made two moves in this transfer window. Fidel Escobar, the youthful Panamanian defender, was signed earlier this week. He will add to RBNY’s already solid back line.
On loan for 18 months, Escobar is excited to be apart of the club and is looking to make an impact. This will create a bit of glut in the back line, as he’ll compete against experienced players such as Long, Perrinelle, Lade, and Lawrence for playing time. If he can earn a spot on the pitch, that will help him develop and the club improve defensively.
