Birth place: Lagos, Nigeria
When you think about Sunny, the first thing that’s going to come to your mind is his physicality. He’s willing to do just about anything to win the ball, even if sometimes that means completely cleaning a guy out. This was, in essence, the story of 2017 for Sunny.
With eight yellow cards and an MLS Disciplinary Committee suspension, Sunny definitely upheld his standard of being a physical presence in the midfield this season. After coming back from his face injury in the middle of 2016, RSL fans were hopeful that we would get to see a complete and fired up Sunny for this season.
