Signed in December 2018, forward Sergio Santos showed the league and Philadelphia Union the potential that Sporting Director Ernst Tanner saw when he added the Brazilian to the roster. After battling some injuries that slowed his 2019, Santos on the pitch was noticeable even in limited opportunities with four goals in 17 matches. This season, Santos’ pace left opposing defenders in the dust and on edge that led to a team-high eight goals. As Santos’ chemistry grew with fellow striker Kacper Przybylko, Santos’ offense grew. The 26-year-old grabbed some headlines against LAFC, scoring a banger of a goal and adding an assist.
