Toronto FC want to win, again. Gregory van der Wiel wants to win, after a long time absent from grand stages. So, let’s say this marriage has started in the best possible way with both partners sharing a common denominator: silverware.
The Dutch defender, who joined the MLS side from Serie A’s Cagliari, has lauded TFC as a winning team who is striving to excel in all departments, in the interest of becoming a global club.
Although he may have been beyond the radar of Canadian soccer fans, van der Wiel’s move to Toronto is probably one of the largest transfer operations TFC have made.
