Josh Sargent’s messy transfer saga ends with $22m move from Norwich to Toronto

• Striker was demoted to under-21s after refusing to play

• Recent club form has not translated to USMNT

Josh Sargent joined Toronto FC from Norwich City in England’s second-tier League Championship on Friday, ending a difficult situation in which the striker was exiled to the under-21 squad after he refused to play in an FA Cup match last month.

Sargent, 26, was signed as a designated player through the 2030-31 MLS season. He had eight goals this season and 56 goals in 157 appearances with the Canaries overall
