True left back out of Biloxi, Mississippi. Currently on trial with Man City. Dad is an African-American former soldier, mom is Turkish. Easterling was born in Germany and has a passport...Already is 6'1", 185. Looking at the YouTube clip, he's a beast physically -- big, fast and skilled (and left footed). Was unearthed by Juan Carlos Michia. http://www.wlox.com/story/29568176/biloxi-soccer-player-koray-easterling-training-in-spain 10:59 AM - 21 Jul 2015 · Details " data-you-follow="true" data-follows-you="false" data-you-block="false" style="position: relative; min-height: 51px; padding: 9px 12px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: rgb(225, 232, 237); cursor: pointer;"> Will Parchman @WillParchman 46m46 minutes ago Easterling is a mobile brickhouse with feet.

I wonder if Will read the same article I posted here an hour ago: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/threads/manchester-city-trial-for-koray-easterling.2022713/
It's good Michia was able to come across him. I'd have to think there are so many quality players falling through the proverbial cracks -- considering the massive size of our country/the soccer infrastructure being in its infancy stage (relative to everywhere else). Regardless, I'm intrigued by this kid.
