I've posted about this fellow on the "Detective Work" thread before, but couldn't confirm various sites' assertion that he was born in the U.S. Since a news organization reported it, I'm going with it, hoping that the report wasn't based on those sites... Selon les informations du Quotidien, Monaco va mettre à l'essai pour cinq jours le jeune international luxembourgeois Dirk Carlson (19 ans, 4 sél.), né à Portland, aux États-Unis. Le latéral gauche du Titus Pétange (D1) venait a priori de se mettre d'accord avec le Grasshopper Zürich (Suisse) lorsqu'il a reçu la proposition monégasque, qui l'aurait donc convaincu de changer ses plans. https://www.francefootball.fr/news/...onal-luxembourgeois-a-l-essai-a-monaco/872342 I don't actually know which Portland. I think T'Markt used to say it was Oregon. https://www.transfermarkt.de/dirk-carlson/profil/spieler/341530 The daring Dirk is a '98 on the U21s at Grasshoppers Zurich. https://www.gcz.ch/nachwuchs/nachwuchsleistungszentrum/u21/ FuPa has him at several European clubs in recent years. https://www.fupa.net/spieler/dirk-carlson-766506.html Is part of of the player pool for The Lux.
Here he is saying it himself, so I guess it's certain: I was born in the United States, yes, in Portland (Oregon) to be exact. When I was 5 years old, my family moved to Luxembourg. I finished school here and attended the national football academy in Monnerich. I graduated at the Lycée Michel Rodange and always wanted to study medicine in the first place, but just as the year where the final exams took place, I got my first call-up for the national team. During my school career, I managed to handle both sports and studies pretty well. https://youze.lu/2019/03/11/dirkcarlson/

He came off the bench in the 79th minute and immediately picked up an assist in a 4-2 win. Carlson is cap tied to Luxembourg, FYI. @TheFalseNine @bungadiri He should be promoted and his thread title changed to reflect he is at Karlsruher.
