Alejandro Pozuelo was named the 2020 Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player on Monday afternoon.

Pozuelo becomes the second Toronto FC player to earn the title, following in the footsteps of one of the men he was brought in to replace.

Sebastian Giovinco won the honour following the 2015 season.

Having arrived in March 2019, Pozuelo put in a spectacular debut season, scoring 12 goals and adding 12 assists in 30 matches last year.

He picked up right where he left off, scoring in the opening game of the season against the San Jose Earthquakes – of course, from the penalty spot.

He registered five assists in the first two matches of the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando, Florida when play resumed in July, and was instrumental in TFC’s push for the Supporters’ Shield.
