After plenty of speculation (of dubious legitimacy), it looks like Toronto FC have indeed landed right back Gregory van der Wiel from Cagliari of Serie A. According to a report from Dutch outlet Telesport, the Netherlands international has signed a two-year contract with TFC, pending a medical.
The Tweet above basically says the right back has signed for two years, with only a few details left to work out. Verweij mentions that van der Wiel’s agent, Hakim Slimani, has confirmed the rumour to him.
Joshua Kloke of The Athletic also reports that van der Wiel is en route to Toronto, set to land today to finalize the deal.
