Memory Lane: What Toronto FC can learn from past European gambles?

TORONTO, Canada—As Toronto FC’s MLS season opener looms closer, the club have yet to fill their third Designated Player spot following Pablo Piatti’s departure at the end of last season.

Piatti is one of various players who joined TFC from a club in one of Europe’s top leagues. The most notable example is undoubtedly Sebastian Giovinco, who left Serie A and UEFA Champions League giants Juventus to join Toronto. As we all know, The Atomic Ant cemented himself as an eternal club legend after winning multiple personal and team honours during his four seasons in Canada.
