Toronto FC are in talks to sign Norwich City”s Josh Sargent after submitting an official $18-million offer for the American striker, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
Sargent could become the most expensive incoming transfer in Toronto FC’s history. The record arrival to Major League Soccer is understood to be Son Heung-min. The South Korean attacker moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Los Angeles FC for a reported $26.5-million fee in August.
Missouri native Sargent has scored seven goals over 23 appearances in England’s second tier this season. His best haul in the Championship occurred in the 2023-24 campaign, when he amassed 16 goals. He represented Norwich in the Premier League four seasons ago and previously suited up for Werder Bremen in Germany.
The 25-year-old has earned 29 caps for the United States men’s national team, scoring five goals, but featured in just one match in 2025. As Mauricio Pochettino prepares his squad for this summer’s World Cup, he’s opted for Folarin Balogun and Haji Wright in the No. 9 slot for recent friendlies.
Toronto FC’s top scorer in MLS last season was Theo Corbeanu with six goals. The Canadian side finished 12th in the 15-team Eastern Conference, scoring 37 goals in 34 matches.
