Spanish midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo set to join Toronto FC in mid-March

Toronto FC has confirmed the signing of Spanish midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo from KRC Genk, saying the new designated player will arrive March 18.

That’s one day after the Belgian club’s season finale.

The 27-year-old Pozuelo scored 25 goals and added 60 assists in 175 appearances over five seasons with the Belgian league leader.

The five-foot-seven, 140-pounder also played for Real Betis and Rayo Vallecano in Spain and Swansea in the English Premier League.

“Alejandro is an excellent player that has the ability to both create and score goals,” Toronto GM Ali Curtis said in a statement.
