After a season when only Lionel Messi scored more MLS goals there should be no surprise that such fierce competition is developing to bring Sam Surridge back to English football.
Surridge has been a sensation in two-and-a-half years since his transfer from Nottingham Forest to Nashville.
He finished the last regular season with 24 goals, five behind Messi’s 29, and scored 31 in 40 appearances across all competitions, inspiring his club to its first major title, the US Open Cup, the United States equivalent of the FA Cup.
Surridge scored a hat trick in a semi-final against Philadelphia Union and the winner with a penalty in the final against Austin, finishing as the top scorer in the competition with six goals.
