Reader mailbag: Kosi Thompson as a centre back for Toronto FC?
His solid defensive stats from 2024 suggest he could handle the switch, but the youngster has started to come into his own as a No. 6.

Do you think there's any chance TFC would convert Kosi Thompson into a centre back for next season? I like his defensive game and think he could be a good fit for the back line.

And from what Thompson told TFC Republic, he was open to the idea of playing in the middle of the defence.
