Tesho Akindele has been
named among the top ten Canadian footballers plying their trade in Major League
Soccer for 2016.
In the just concluded
season, the 24-year-old was an indispensable member of the FC Dallas squad,
scoring 7 goals from 33 appearances in the American top-flight, including the
playoffs.

“Playing down in Texas may have left the 24-year-old out of sight and out of
mind for fans up north.
“But the third-year
attacker had yet another solid year for FC Dallas, making 31 league appearances
(with six goals and four assists) for the Supporters’ Shield winners.”
Another player of Nigerian
descent, Vancouver Whitecaps defender Sam Adekugbe, was not considered as he is
spending the whole of the season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion in
England.
Alphonso Davies (Vancouver
Whitecaps), Will Johnson (Toronto FC), Jonathan Osorio (Toronto FC) and Cyle
Larin (Orlando City SC) all made the list.
