Desler, known for his prowess at the right-back position, is a key piece in Austin FC's strategy to strengthen the team in the upcoming season. His journey at Toulouse FC, where he has amassed an impressive 91 appearances since 2021, demonstrates not only his consistency but also his ability to adapt to competitive challenges.
