It's a special BIMBO birthday as we celebrate defender Kai Wagner.
Wagner turns 24 today and has made 44 regular-season appearances (all starts) since joining Philadelphia in 2019. This past season he scored his first goal in a 2-1 victory over Miami (July 14) and logged his first multiple assist game when he added two helpers in a 5-0 win vs. Toronto (Oct. 24).
In his two seasons with the club, Wagner has been one of the league’s top defenders, making MLS’ Team of the Week three times in that span. In 2019, having eight assists in 30 games played ranked him first amongst MLS defenders.
