The first of at least two expected signings for New York City FC was announced yesterday in midfielder Eloi Amagat. Head coach Dome Torrent has mentioned that the team would be looking for a versatile midfield player that has experience and can perform in different roles, and the team gets that in Amagat.
Amagat can play multiple positions (surely part of his appeal), with Torrent likely to deploy him in a 6, 8, or 10 role. Considering the current players at those starting positions for the club, Amagat likely will be part of the supporting cast instead of being a regular starter; an insurance policy should NYC lose another key midfield piece for some time.
