This Italian goal machine would rather stay in MLS than move to Liverpool

He's staying put...

Sebastian Giovinco is in red hot form for MLS side Toronto.

The former Juventus playmaker has been tearing sh*t up over the pond with 22 goals in 31 games.

His devastating form – which included this nine-minute hat-trick and this sensational solo effort – has quite rightly been turning heads.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing the 5ft 4in Italian international.

Tottenham Hotspur and even Barcelona are also believed to be looking at him.

But after sending his Toronto side through to the play-offs for the first time in their history, the ‘Atomic Ant’ insists he isn’t even considering a move elsewhere.

When asked about speculation linking him to a move back to Europe, Giovinco replied: “No, I’m happy where I am. I only just changed club, so let me enjoy this adventure first.”

Who knows, it might be his £4.5m a year deal, the fact he’s scoring for fun in MLS or that he’s heard about the famous English weather.
