Alphonso Davies tallies two goals, two assists in Whitecaps 4-2 win
VANCOUVER — It’s been a banner week for Alphonso Davies.
The 17-year-old was the talk of soccer worldwide Wednesday after premier German club Bayern Munich agreed to a record-breaking US$22 million transfer deal for the Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder.
On Saturday, the rising star showed his new European fans why the team was willing to shell out the cash, putting up a stunning two-goal, two-assist performance in the Whitecaps’ 4-2 home victory over Minnesota United.
The game was a homecoming for the teen, who sat out Vancouver’s previous three matches amid negotiations about his future.
