Gagne's introduction to the Medellin locker room and the greater SSL football academy has been surprisingly flashy. In spirit, Gagne is a selfless competitors who would rather engage on defense and disperse on offense, but in the early going he managed to score twice in a fiercely competitive match against Victoria Falls. The second goal came in extra time, salvaging a draw from the jaws of defeat. His build is segundo volante, an attacking midfielder with plenty of finishing ability but a strong tendency to favor the constructive pass over opting to score goals personally. As the league grows and more prospects enter the Medellin fold, it is likely that Gagne will recede back to his proper role as a roving midfielder and master of the long pass. This is all in the effort of self promotion, as Gagne has big dreams of being a critical role player some day on a premier club. Inquiring scouts will find that Gagne is a dedicated role player, a valuable teammate, and the kind of player that can elevate those around him to higher levels of performance by creating opportunities from the most barren of situations. I look forward to seeing how the rest of this season unfolds, and to where Gagne ends up in the coming draft.
