In his first chat with Philadelphia-area media, new Union striker Sergio Santos said he focused on both style of play and potential for development when he chose to make the move to Major League Soccer from the Chilean Primera division.
“I’ve spoken with a few different players around the league — some in Philadelphia — and some that I’ve known from Brazil, and they describe it as a great opportunity,” Santos said from Brazil on Friday.
A native Brazilian, Santos has been in Chile since age 19 pursuing professional soccer opportunities. The striker had a breakout season in 2018, knocking in nine goals in the Clausera and one goal in the Copa Sudamericana.
