Toronto FC has signed first-round draft choice Tsubasa Endoh.
The 22-year-old forward from Japan has impressed at training camp, starting up top on the right side of coach Greg Vanney’s 4-3-3 formation.
“Throughout the pre-season, Tsubasa has shown a high level of professionalism. He has done a great job of integrating into the group and has been a solid contributor thus far,” Toronto FC GM Tim Bezbatchenko said in a statement Saturday.
“He is a player we have liked for some time and one with a great amount of upside. We are excited to get this deal done and have Tsubasa as a member of Toronto FC.
