2023 Orlando City Position Previews: Wingers

Favian Loyola
Age: 17
2022 Stats: 11 appearances, 6 goals (MLS NEXT Pro)

Rising Homegrown talent Favian Loyola is more of a pure No. 10, but the teenager will likely play as a winger as he breaks into the first team. Perhaps he can fill in as an understudy for Facundo Torres as an inverted, playmaking creator.

Regardless of position, Loyola is a premier talent on the cusp of a professional breakout. He won the MVP of MLS NEXT All-Star game and scored more than a goal every other game in MLS NEXT Pro last season. It might be a year too early for Loyola in MLS, but he'll be a regular contributor for Orlando City B at the least.
