    Who'll be the next semi-obscure YA to come play in the US?

    Kenedy becomes the first signing of LAFC and then joins the USMNT. ;)

    I'll go with Fernando Arce Jr.

    Could Kenedy actually play for the US?

    For what it's worth:

    Q: What were your thoughts when you spoke with Atlanta United’s Carlos Bocanegra for the first time?​

    A: It was exciting because I have family in the United States, my second country. It feels like home here anyway. It’s not the first time I left Greece. I know how it is. It’s like home.

    I have family that lives in Seattle. I have some relatives. My mother is from Newport Beach, Calif.

    ...

    Q: What were the issues with finding games in Greece?

    A: That was bad luck, also. It was difficult. I was in a very big club in Greece. Very difficult for young players in Greece. Clubs are always buying players. Difficult for younger players to play.

    I was always ready. Sometimes it happens.

    You can see a lot of good goalkeepers who are young. Big clubs always buy the top goalkeepers.

    You have to be lucky.

    Casillas was lucky. He was good, but three keepers had to be injured for him to play.​
