The Premier League champions are set to win the race for the Philadelphia Union academy star who has garnered interest from around Europe
American soccer is no stranger to teenage prodigies. Perhaps the most famous one the sport has ever seen, Freddy Adu, came from the U.S., rising to prominence at just 14 years old. In the years since, Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna, Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie and Yunus Musah all became stars in their teenage years before leading the charge to the 2022 World Cup.
All of those mentioned were very good players as teenagers, and were coveted by the biggest clubs in the world. They were never, though, touted as the best in the world within their age group. They were never called the can't-miss player of their birth year. They were never the very best in the world., and, this time around, it may not be an exaggeration.
Manchester City have already pounced, moving quickly to sign Sullivan years before he can even hope of playing for thembefore City even got their chance. Every elite team in the world has been watching a player that may prove to be the most coveted prospect the American game has ever seen.
