Nicolas Lodeiro, Sebastian Giovinco both in focus ahead of MLS Cup Final

TUKWILA, Wash. — Over the past two seasons there’s been no better in Major League Soccer than Sebastian Giovinco, the playmaker at the heart of the attack for Toronto FC.

That statement isn’t opinion as much as it’s a simple fact, proven nearly each time the Italian international steps on the field for the Reds. One would be hard-pressed to find anyone around MLS who could dispute against the merits of Giovinco, who was named MLS MVP in 2015 and amassed another sparkling season this year, recording 17 goals and 15 assists in just 28 games.

His quickness is second-to-none and his movement off the ball makes containing him even more difficult.
