Toronto FC are currently holding their annual pre-season Media Day, and head coach Aron Winter has used the opportunity to announce the signing of Ecuadorean centre back Geovanny Caicedo.
The 30-year-old arrives at TFC from LDU Quito, which is also the former club of starlet Joao Plata. He has earned eight caps with his national team, including one versus Canada at BMO Field in 2011.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Caicedo was one of two long-rumoured defensive acquisitions for the Reds, with the other being Chilean Miguel Aceval. When asked about whether TFC will be signing another defender from South America, Winter simply said, "yes." The Dutch coach answered the follow-up question -- whether the defender is from Chile -- by saying "the chance is big."
