Tajon Buchanan

Tajon Buchanan is Canada's most dangerous wide attacker — a rapid, direct winger who can play on either flank and whose pace causes problems for any defensive line. He made his name at Club Brugge before joining Inter Milan, and though injuries disrupted his time in Serie A, a move to Villarreal in 2024 has given him a platform in La Liga. For Canada, he is the player most likely to create something from nothing, capable of taking on defenders and delivering in the final third. His ability to stretch defences is central to how Canada transition from their defensive structure into attack.
