Sebastian Giovinco

Sebastian Giovinco (Italian pronunciation: [seˈbastjan dʒoˈviŋko]; born 26 January 1987) is an Italian professional footballer who plays for Canadian club Toronto FC of Major League Soccer (MLS), and the Italian national team as a forward.

An explosive and creative player on the ball, with excellent vision and technical skill, he is a free-kick specialist and capable of playing in several offensive positions. Due to his short stature, dynamic abilities and pace, Giovinco acquired the nickname formica atomica ("atomic ant," after the eponymous Hanna-Barbera character) during his time with Italian club Juventus, as well as during his stints on loan with Italian clubs Empoli and Parma; with Juventus, he won two Serie A titles. After moving to Toronto FC in 2015, he broke the league's record for most combined goals and assists in a season during his first year with the club, also helping Toronto to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time in the club's history, and winning himself the MLS Golden Boot, the MLS Newcomer of the Year Award, and the MLS MVP Award.
