Toronto FC, pivoting after a deal for an overseas player fell through, added to its attack Wednesday by acquiring Haiti international winger Derrick Etienne Jr. from Atlanta United FC in exchange for up to US$375,000 in general allocation money.
Some US$175,000 of the allocation money in the deal is conditional on certain performance-based metrics.
That included coming close to acquiring a player from outside of MLS. But the player in question was still under contract, meaning the other club had a say in the matter. He won the Supporters’ Shield with the Red Bulls in 2018 and the MLS Cup and Campeones Cup with Columbus in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Hernandez says Etienne gives the Toronto options at wide forward, attacking midfielder and wingback with the team looking to manage the minutes of Italian star Lorenzo Insigne, who is currently sidelined by a hamstring issue, and knowing that captain Jonathan Osorio will be away with Canada for a spell this summer.
