TORONTO—With the arrival of France’s Nicolas Benezet, Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney has decisions to make in midfield.
Acquired on loan from France’s Guingamp, which was relegated after finishing bottom of Ligue 1 last season, Benezet brings experience, quality and versatility, according to Vanney.
Benezet, who was acquired using target allocation money with an option to buy, will also add to selection headaches.
“The goal is that he comes and he lights it up here. And that we keep him here and he helps our team moving forward,” Vanney said after training Tuesday. “The more stable we can be going from one year to the next has proven for us to be more successful than going through lots of changes.
