CONCACAF has nominated Seattle Sounders forward Clint Dempsey and defenders Román Torres and Joevin Jones for its annual end-of-year awards.
The United States’ Dempsey is up for Male Player of the Year and Best XI forward after scoring six goals in 2017, including five in FIFA World Cup Qualifying. He recorded a hat trick against Honduras in March in his return to international duty after recovering from an irregular heartbeat that sidelined him for the latter part of 2016. Deuce also scored a team-high 12 goals for the Sounders, and an additional two so far in the postseason, en route to being named MLS’ 2017 Comeback Player of the Year.
