"Happy and motivated" Nemanja Nikolić at last receives Best MLS Player ESPY Award

At long last, Chicago Fire forward Nemanja Nikoliu0107 has his 2018 “Best MLS Player” ESPY Award in his hands.

On Friday afternoon at Toyota Park, Nikoliu0107 formally unboxed his latest accolade earned after a sterling 2017 season after being announced the winner at the ESPY Awards ceremony back in July. The ESPY Award now adds to an individual haul that also saw the 30-year-old win the league’s 2017 Golden Boot Award and be named to the MLS Best XI after netting 24 times for the Men In Red in his debut season in Chicago.
