USMNT forward Josh Sargent bagged his first goal in MLS to lead FC Toronto to a 3-2 victory over Colorado Rapids. The former Norwich striker also grabbed an assist as the Canadian side overturned a second half deficit to secure back-to-back wins.
U.S. international Josh Sargent made his long-awaited Toronto FC debut on Saturday, coming off the bench in the 70th minute for Robin Fraser’s side. The 26-year-old was welcomed with a loud roar from the BMO Field crowd and nearly made an immediate impact, but Toronto had to settle for a 1-1 draw after Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s late equalizer.
Josh Sargent will make a big-money move from EFL Championship side Norwich to MLS's Toronto FC, according to the Athletic. The MLS team is set to shell out $22 million to secure the services of the USMNT striker, who tried to force a move during the January transfer window. Sargent was training with Norwich's U-21s and has not appeared for the senior side since Jan. 1.
The January transfer window offered admittedly few high profile moves, but there were certainly some significant deals that will have an impact this year and for those to come.
USMNT star Josh Sargent has been criticised for the manner in which he has set about securing a transfer away from Norwich City, with Brad Friedel explaining to GOAL why the “lovely” striker has stepped out of line. A move to MLS appears to be on the cards for the Missouri native, who has taken a leaf out of Alexander Isak’s book when it comes to sealing a switch.
U.S. international Josh Sargent may have played his final match for Norwich City after being separated from the first team. According to The Athletic, internal issues at the club have led to discussions over his future, with Toronto FC in talks to complete a transfer in the coming days. The Reds reportedly saw a $18 million transfer to Canada blocked by the Canaries last week.
Norwich City will be without Josh Sargent for their Championship clash against Wrexham after head coach Philippe Clement confirmed the striker was dropped for disciplinary reasons. The U.S. international’s situation has raised questions about his short-term future, even as the club insists he remains key in their relegation fight.
USMNT star Josh Sargent is considered to have gone from “hero to zero in one text message” at Norwich, with the highly-rated striker pushing for a transfer away from Carrow Road in the January window. With 2026 World Cup dreams in the back of his mind, the 25-year-old has taken to removing himself from contention for selection by the Canaries.
