Orlando City announced its latest acquisition on Thursday afternoon, loaning in Peruvian international Carlos Ascues. Announced by Orlando as a defender, Ascues is known for his versatility and could be utilized in multiple roles by Head Coach James O’Connor in the home stretch of 2018.
It’s an interesting pickup for the club, which has a roster already stocked with five center backs and eight central midfielders. It begs the question of exactly what direction the front office is pointing the team in under the new boss in the third attempt to turn OCSC into a contender.
