Throughout the offseason, Columbus Crew SC have had one glaring need.
With Jukka Raitala gone to the Montreal Impact by way of Los Angels Football Club and the expansion draft and the trade of Waylon Francis to the Seattle Sounders, the Black & Gold’s left back position was wide open.
On Thursday, Crew SC filled that void by signing 19-year-old fullback Milton Valenzuela on loan from Newell’s Old Boys. The news was first reported by Andrew Erickson of The Columbus Dispatch and later confirmed by Massive Report.
