It’s Taty Time in Argentina.
New York City FC striker Valentin Castellanos has been called into the U-23 La Albiceleste for the first time after a tremendous regular season in MLS, where he has scored 11 goals and recorded 5 assists through 29 games played.
Taty, who turns 21 on Thursday, will join up with fellow MLS player, D.C. United’s Lucas Rodriguez, at the Argentina U-23 camp as they prepare to play two friendlies against Mexico on October 9 and October 14.
The young striker joined NYCFC on loan from CA Torque midway through the 2018 season, but in this, his first full season in the city, the player Heber affectionately refers to as El Animalito has been immense, and it’s clear to see he’s settled into his new home.
