Neil Davidson The Canadian PressCanadian international forward Cyle Larin has signed a Generation Adidas contract, setting the stage for the highly touted UConn underclassman to play a prominent role in next week’s MLS SuperDraft.
The 19-year-old from Brampton, Ont., who has been capped three times by Canadian coach Benito Floro, is seen as a possible No. 1 pick.
“Exceptional talent,” said Toronto FC general manager Tim Bezbatchenko. “Cyle’s one of those players that just has the raw ability to be what he wants to be. He can play a couple of different positions. Obviously getting called up to the Canadian national team already, he’s playing at a world stage and I think he has the ambition to do that.
“No doubt he’s projected to go high. So we’ll just have to see.”
