After spending nearly 20 years with Juventus and rising through their academy, Sebastian Giovinco made the big decision of moving to the Major League Soccer aged only 28. He clearly had a lot more to offer to European football, but the Italian had made up his mind. Now 31, Giovinco has already become one of the finest the league has ever had.

He might be extremely short, standing only as high as 5'4", but Giovinco is the complete package. He is incredible with the ball at his feet and can make defenders dance to his tunes.

In addition to that, he is deadly in front of goal as his 55 goals in 89 league appearances for Toronto prove. However, we witness the best of Giovinco when he stands up to take a free-kick. He can really hit a dead-ball.

Capped 23 times for Italy, Giovinco is having the time of his life in America and proving to us that making the early shift to the States might not be a bad decision at all.
