Meet Toronto FC’s newest player, Alejandro Pozuelo

Alejandro Pozuelo hit all the right notes Monday in his formal introduction as a Toronto FC player.

The 27-year-old Spaniard, sticking to English wherever possible, said he wants to be here, doesn’t care to rehash the difficulties in extricating himself from KRC Genk in Belgium, and can’t wait to play.

Alejandro Pozuelo will wear No. 10 for Toronto, following the footsteps of Sebastian Giovinco and others.

That will likely happen Friday when Toronto (2-0-0) hosts New York City FC (0-0-3).

Pozuelo said he had heard “very amazing” things about TFC and Toronto from former TFC star Victor Vazquez, a fellow Spaniard now playing in Qatar, and current defender Laurent Ciman, a Belgian international, among others.
