Number of EFL Clubs Targeting Houston Dynamo Forward

Several League One and Two clubs have had their eyes on Houston Dynamo forward Toyosi Olusanya. According to EFL Analysis; Luton, Bolton, Northampton, Bristol Rovers and Blackpool all have their radar on the Englishman playing in the MLS.

Olusanya started his senior career for AFC Wimbledon in 2017, and was last playing in the UK for Scottish side St. Mirren. He scored 14 goals in 67 appearances for The Buddies.

The 27-year-old moved to the US earlier this year, in April. He signed a contract until June 2026, with options to extend to 2028.

Olusanya's Struggles in the MLS

Since moving to America, Olusanya has struggled to lay down a marker in the Houston Dynamo team. He has only made nine appearances, a total of 140 minutes and has failed to score in that time.

Despite a lack of playing time, it does seem that Olusanya has failed to adjust to life in the MLS. A move back to the EFL could be just what the player needs to gain his form back.

His already impressive CV in England's lower leagues should guarantee goals for his potential suitor. Luton would be an interesting pick for the forward, he could provide goal contributions to fire The Hatters straight back up to the Championship.

London-born Olusanya moved to Texas back in April from @saintmirrenfc, but has been limited to only 52 minutes in the MLS so far.

EFL Becoming Hotspot For MLS Players

There is an increasing trend recently, with more and more players moving from the MLS to England's lower leagues.

Patrick Agyemang recently moved to Derby County from Charlotte FC, and Griffin Yow (formerly of D.C United) has been linked with a move to Portsmouth.

It is obvious that EFL clubs have identified the MLS to be a good market for experienced, quality players who can do a good job in the Championship and below.

Could Olusanya be the next to make the move from the MLS to the EFL?
