Player to watch: Dejan Joveljic
In order to sign goalscorer-in-chief Dejan Joveljic, Sporting Kansas City’s men in charge had to pay LA Galaxy a €3.86m transfer fee. The Serbian goalscorer was one of the 2024 MLS winners’ top performers last campaign, but with only one goal since the start of the new season, it’s fair to say he is slacking.
Second player to watch: Michael Boxall
Key defender Michael Boxall is doing a fine job at keeping the ball away from his penalty area this season, as his team has only conceded one goal.
