Pablo Piatti will arrive at the MLS is Back Tournament as Toronto FC’s newest Designated Player. Here is how he can provide a unique offensive threat for Greg Vanney’s team.

Toronto FC were close to building an MLS Cup-winning team last year. Relying on players that have inspired the recent success, Greg Vanney’s team again looked dominant in midfield, dangerous in the final third, and improved immensely across the backline once Omar Gonzalez arrived at centre-back.

However, throughout the entire season, the team lacked obvious zip and speed in wide areas.
