Tajon Trevor Buchanan (born February 8, 1999) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for La Liga club Villarreal and the Canada national team. Known for his speed and technical ability, he usually plays as a wide midfielder, but can also be deployed as a full-back.
Buchanan was born and raised in Brampton, Ontario and is of Jamaican descent. His father died when Buchanan was seven years old. He began playing soccer with Brampton Youth, when he was eight. Buchanan won the 2014 IMG Cup with the Mississauga Falcons. At age 15, he moved with his best friend and his best friend's father (and his former coach), Chrys Chrysanthou, to Colorado where he joined the USSDA academy Real Colorado.
Buchanan spent two years playing college soccer at Syracuse University between 2017 and 2018, making 33 appearances, scoring 12 goals and tallying six assists. After two years with the Orange, Buchanan left early and signed a Generation Adidas contract with Major League Soccer ahead of the 2019 MLS SuperDraft.
In summer 2018, Buchanan played for League1 Ontario side Sigma FC, making seven appearances and scoring two goals.
On January 11, 2019, Buchanan was selected ninth overall in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft by New England Revolution. He made his professional debut on March 9, 2019, as an 81st-minute substitute during a 2–0 loss to Columbus Crew. He scored his first career goal on September 12, 2020 in a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union. On November 24, 2020, he scored his first MLS Cup playoffs goal, scoring the second and final goal in a 2–0 win over the Philadelphia Union.
On July 3, 2021 Buchanan scored the first goal in the history of Lower.com Field, in the Revolution's 2-2 draw against Columbus Crew. During the 2021 season, Buchanan's continued good form for the Revolution earned him a nomination to the MLS squad for the 2021 MLS All-Star Game in August 2021.
In August 2021, Buchanan signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Belgian First Division A champions Club Brugge. Buchanan was loaned back to New England Revolution for the remainder of the 2021 MLS season. The $7 million transfer fee (with a 10% sell-on clause) paid by Club Brugge was a club-record received by the Revolution for one of their players. He made his debut for Brugge against Sint-Truiden on January 15, 2022. Buchanan scored his first goal for Brugge on April 24 against Royal Antwerp.
On January 5, 2024, Buchanan officially joined Serie A club Inter Milan for a reported fee of €7 million, plus €3 million in add-ons, signing a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Italian club. In the process, he became Serie A's first ever Canadian player. Buchanan made his debut for his new club on February 16, as a substitute for Alessandro Bastoni in a 4–0 victory over Salernitana.
