MLS NEWS: Sebastian Giovinco Named MVP (VIDEO)

Toronto FC forward Sebastian Giovinco was named the Landon Donovan Award winner as Major League Soccer's MVP on Wednesday. Giovinco received 87 percent of MLS club votes, 94 percent of media ballots and 77 percent of player votes, beating Kei Kamara of Columbus Crew and Sporting KC standout Benny Feilhaber by a wide margin.

Along with being named MVP, Giovinco won the Golden Boot as the league's top scorer, has been named Newcomer of the Year, and earned a selection to the MLS Best XI, the league's first team all-stars. Giovinco's brilliant run against the New York Red Bulls earlier this season is up for Goal of the Year, however Giovinco will have to wait until Thursday to see if he has a clean sweep of the MLS awards.

En route to winning the Landon Donovan award, Giovinco set an MLS points record, scoring 22 goals and adding 16 assists. The way Giovinco dazzled spectators over the 2015 campaign will put him in the conversation for the best individual MLS season in history, according to John Molinaro.

An impressive first MLS season for the 28-year-old Italian, who received criticism for transferring from Juventus of the Italian Serie A league in his prime, according to Molinaro. Giovinco's play with Toronto FC resulted in the Italian being recalled to play with the national team in October for the first time in over a year. Giovinco is expected to join the Italian national team again for Euro 2016 in France, according to Paddy Agnew.

Toronto FC qualified for the playoffs for the first time in 2015, thanks in large part to the play of Giovinco. Despite the success on the pitch, there is still seom unsatisfied feelings about the way the season ended.

"The thing that I would change is, for sure, the playoff game just because it was a very important game. The city and everyone was waiting for it. But now this is the past, so we will be ready for next year," Giovinco said.
