Toronto FC signs French-born defender Chris Mavinga to contract extension Globe_Sports

. Gonzalez, a former MLS Defender of the Year, was fourth-highest at $1,193,900. Gonzalez’s deal involves targeted allocation money.Mavinga’s existing contract expires at the end of the 2020 season. The French-born Congolese international, who joined Toronto in January 2017, had teased the new deal in a Jan. 2 tweet saying “Something BIG is coming.” On Wednesday, he posted “Here to stay.”

Mavinga, who has made 86 appearances in all competitions for Toronto, is a rangy, athletic defender fast enough to rescue most defensive miscues. Coach Greg Vanney, a former elite defender himself, has called him the team’s “safety blanket.” Mavinga, whose father is Congolese, started in the Paris Saint-Germain system at 14, working his way up to train with the first team at 17. But a coaching change blocked his path so, rather than return to the reserves, he left for Liverpool at 18 – spurning an offer from Arsenal.He did well in the Liverpool reserves and, playing alongside Antoine Griezmann, Alexandre Lacazette and Francis Coquelin, helped France win the under-19 European title in 2009-10.
