Can Toronto FC’s new Italian influx mark a return to MLS glory?

Domenico Criscito, Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi represent an influx of talent that could help Toronto FC reconnect with the city's deep Italian roots

I've met a lot of Italians in this first week I've been here," said Domenico Criscito, cracking a broad smile in what was an otherwise staid, businesslike first press conference as a new Toronto FC player.

The 35-year-old former Genoa and Zenit Saint Petersburg defender, who also has 26 caps for Italy, arrives on the undercard to Lorenzo Insigne as part of a new Italian influx at Canada's most successful Major League Soccer side.
