Giovinco ended his historic spell with Toronto FC on Thursday to make a lucrative move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal, but the former Juventus attacker took to Instagram to set the record straight about his transfer.

ESPN analyst Taylor Twellman has tweeted that Toronto FC are on the verge of signing US national team and AS Roma midfielder Michael Bradley.

No more Mo?

I miss seeing him on the sidelines already and the season hasn’t even started.

Based on how the team played last year, that could be a good thing. Read more... (494 words, estimated 1:59 mins reading time)
