Football Italia says the sale of Antonio Nocerino to Orlando City will be completed on Monday

Capped 15 times between 2007-2012, Nocerino has spent his entire career in Italy with the exception of a loan to West Ham United in 2014.

“Football has changed so much, until a few years ago nobody went to China or the United States. The sport is becoming more globalised.”
The reunion with Kaka obviously helps strengthen Orlando City’s midfield, and the Lions will be daydreaming of the impact Sebastian Giovinco made coming from Serie A to MLS.
