TORONTO, Canada—Venezuelan startlet Yefferson Soteldo has now officially joined Toronto FC from Santos for a reported fee of $6 million USD. After a patient few months, the club has finally filled their third designated player spot which was vacated by Pablo Piatti at the end of the 2020 season.
The winger will become Toronto’s second Venezuelan and 17th South American in history to don the red shirt, and while some fans may have never heard of him before, many will hope that Soteldo is here to rewrite the narrative of South American players at Toronto FC.
