Whitecaps seventeen-year-old wunderkid had a goal and three assists against Orlando yesterday.
Highlights here. He's #67, but you'll be able to figure that out:
He'll be eighteen (and out of contract) in December and the question everyone in Vancouver is asking is where should he go then to maximise his potential. Europe, sure, but which league would be best for his development. A lot of people reckon the EPL where, I suspect, he'd be loaned out to a third or fourth level club for "seasoning," and that's the last anyone would see of him. Personally I reckon the Bundesliga would be the best bet. There's a bit of a history with North American players, and my impression is that, overall, coaching is better than he's find in most other leagues.
This is all speculative of course, because it's early but apparently there's already solid interest from Besiktas. Thoughts?
