Prince Owusu's impact and legacy that Toronto FC will miss

Prince Owusu’s exit leaves a bittersweet feeling among Toronto FC fans, as he was instrumental in the team’s efforts during the 2024 season. Owusu made 31 appearances in the MLS, scoring nine goals and providing one assist.

His contributions were equally significant in the Canadian Championship, where he scored three goals and provided two assists in five matches. His departure to a rival team adds a new layer of intensity to the Canadian derby, as Owusu now dons the colors of CF Montreal.

Focused on a positive 2025 season for Toronto FC

As Toronto FC navigates the 2025 season, Robin Fraser faces the challenge of filling the void left by Owusu’s departure. The funds acquired through this transfer will be crucial in reshaping the squad to meet the club’s high expectations.

With a focus on fostering a more competitive environment, Toronto FC is poised to make strategic moves to strengthen their lineup and enhance their performance in both the MLS and the Canadian Championship.
