Nemanja Nikolic expected that coming to America meant he’d have an adjustment period.
The Hungarian international was unsure of how he’d get along with his new Chicago Fire teammates or how long it would take to feel comfortable with Major League Soccer.
But just six months after his arrival in the Windy City, Nikolic is fitting right in with the Fire. And he’s scoring lots of goals, too.
The 29-year-old striker known as Niko has scored 16 goals in 19 appearances. He leads the league in goals, four ahead of the next-highest scorers, NYCFC’s David Villa and Houston’s Erick Torres.
