(Reuters) - Italian forward Sebastian Giovinco said on Wednesday it seemed he "no longer served a purpose" at Toronto FC after the Major League Soccer side opted to sell him to Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal.

The 32-year-old, who joined Toronto in 2015 from Juventus, scored 83 goals in 142 appearances for the club and picked up a string of individual honours including the league's MVP, Golden Boot and Newcomer of the Year awards.
