The Rising Stars of US Soccer

When people think of the United States of America and
football, they immediately think American football. It’s only natural
considering that this is pretty much the country’s preferred sport to watch and
follow. The NFL has become something of a statement when it comes to US sports,
with the Super Bowl
being a massive event every year.

Yet, what some people potentially don’t know, is that the
United States has provided the European football industry (known as soccer in
the US) with some excellent players throughout the years, too. In more recent
times, a growing number of these have been coming to light, and that’s what we’re
here to highlight today – the top US upcoming football players.

So, without further ado, we’re going to kick this off with a
look at Ulysses Llanez. Born in Lynwood, California, Llanez currently
plays as a forward for the youth team of VfL Wolfsburg. On Dec. 30, 2019, he
was also called up for his first US men’s national soccer team senior-team
camp, and he started his first game for the national team against Costa Rica.
It was in that game that he
scored his first goal
(the only goal of the match, may we add!).

Giovanni Reyna is another American soccer player, who
currently plays for Borussia Dortmund, and has made enough waves to draw attention
to himself. As it happens, he was included in the “Next Generation 2019” list
formed by The Guardian, although he was actually born in Sunderland,
England. However, his hometown club is New York City FC, which he debuted with
in 2015. It was just last year that he moved to Germany to join Dortmund’s
academy, before making his debut for the team in January, 2020.

While Sergiño
Dest
was born in Almere, the Netherlands, he’s actually an American national
who operates as right-back for the United States national team. He has represented
the US at senior level since 2019, but he also plays for the Dutch club Ajax. In
his debut match for the US national team, he played for 68 minutes, although the
side suffered a 3-0 loss to Mexico. That being said, he still holds plenty of
potential for both Ajax and the US national team.

Fortunately, all of these players and various others from
the US remain in the foresight of not only football clubs and their fans, but
sports bettors as well. Reyna has already seen lots of interest in his
gameplay, with many visitors to sites like 1xBet, backing him as a potential
goalscorer in matches. Find out how to download

him and many others. You’ll need to have an account at the sportsbook to do
this, but then, you can place bets from any location with the mobile app on
your handset.

And then we finally come to Christian Pulisic of
Hershey, Pennsylvania. He is currently signed to Premier League club Chelsea,
as well as the US national team, where he plays as winger or attacking midfielder.
As it happens though, he began his professional soccer career at Borussia
Dortmund, although he swiftly soared through the team’s youth academy. His
transfer to Chelsea in 2019 was worth £57.6 million, making him the most
expensive US player of all time. As a US international player, Pulisic has
scored 14 goals in 34 games and is the youngest player to ever captain the US
national team in the modern era.
