When rumours of Toronto FC’s interest in Cagliari’s Gregory van der Wiel began to surface a few days ago, they seemed a touch far-fetched. Now, though, we’ve got a little more information, and TFC really do seem to be involved with the Dutch right back.
First, there’s the non-committal answers we got from Tim Bezbatchenko. He kind of shrugged off this specific rumour, saying TFC get lumped into a lot of transfer gossip, but he did say he didn’t want to “confirm or deny who we’re looking at.”
Then, there’s the influx of reporters (both from here and from Italy) speculating that van der Wiel might be on the move to Toronto.
