Winger Tajon Buchanan Joins Inter Milan – Becomes First Canadian to Play in Serie A

In a surprising move, winger Tajon Buchanan has made the switch from Club Brugge to join Italian giants Inter Milan. This transfer marks a historic moment as he becomes the first-ever Canadian player to grace the pitches of Serie A, Italy’s top football division.

The talented 24-year-old has signed a lucrative four-and-a-half-year deal with Inter Milan for an estimated fee of seven million euros (£6.02m). His impressive performances on both domestic and international stages have caught the attention of many, making him one of Canada’s most promising prospects.

Buchanan boasts an impressive record with his national team, having earned 35 caps for Canada. He was also a key figure in their recent campaign at the 2022 World Cup, starting all three group games and showcasing his skills on the global stage.

“I’m incredibly proud to be the first Canadian player in history to compete in the prestigious Italian league. It’s truly a remarkable achievement,” expressed Buchanan when asked about his groundbreaking move. “Inter Milan is a club I’ve admired for quite some time, and now I have this amazing opportunity to represent them. I can’t wait to embrace what lies ahead.”

Inter Milan currently sits atop Serie A as they continue their pursuit of domestic glory this season. Their next game sees them face Hellas Verona on Saturday (11:30 GMT), where fans will be eager to witness the debut of their newest Canadian acquisition.
