Toronto FC: Federico Bernardeschi joins from Juventus on free transfer

 Italy winger Federico Bernardeschi has joined Toronto FC on a free transfer from Juventus.

The 28-year-old, who was part of Italy's Euro 2020-winning squad last summer, has signed a four-year deal with the Major League Soccer team.

He won seven trophies in five seasons with Juve, including three consecutive Serie A titles from 2018 to 2020.

Italy winger Lorenzo Insigne agreed to leave Napoli for Toronto FC earlier this year.

"We think he's a great fit for what we're trying to build here at TFC," said Toronto coach and sporting director Bob Bradley.

Bernardeschi came through the youth ranks at Fiorentina and had a loan spell at Crotone in 2013-2014 before moving to Juventus in a £35m deal in 2017.

"I go back to the four-minute mile, nobody had ever done it and they thought your lungs would explode, and then Roger Bannister did it. "And in the following year about four or five people did it as well because they knew it was possible." The 20-year-old impressed with her extra pace on a flat pitch, bowling with aggression and hostility to provide England's attack with an added spark. While she admits she does not think about the speed gun when she is bowling, Wong is confident breaking the 80mph barr

  In April, US sprinter Allyson Felix announced this year would be her last as an athlete. It's hard to imagine what the sport will look like without her. Felix burst on to the scene in 2003 when, aged 17, she finished second in the 200m at the US trials to qualify for her first World Championships. Two medal-filled decades later, she bowed out in front of a home crowd in Eugene, Oregon,  winning bronze  as part of the 4x400m mixed relay. "It was a night I will cherish.
