Alphonso Davies was acquired by Bayern Munich for the biggest transfer fee in Major League Soccer history, Jonathan Osorio decided to stay in MLS but is now one of Toronto FC’s best and highest paid players, while Jonathan David has been a revelation with his play in Europe.
The list goes on, and it makes Herdman’s selection of a national team starting eleven as difficult as it has been in a long time.
