Here's why C.J. Sapong belongs in the MLS All-Star game

Currently tied as the leading scorer of the team sitting atop the Eastern Conference standings, C.J. Sapong’s MLS All-Star merit speaks for itself.

On pace for the best season of his career, Sapong has exploded offensively since his arrival in the city of brotherly love. The longtime Sporting KC forward has won the hearts of Union fans, and started to redefine his legacy as one of the Philadelphia Union’s favorite sons.

The Union acquired Sapong in December 2015 via trade from Sporting KC in return for Philadelphia’s No. 10 overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
