    6'3 CF, 19 years old who's regularly playing and scoring in Ligue One. Not been capped yet by France. Someone alert that usaprospects guy on twitter to get on this case to find out if he's eligible for our YNT's.

    There are a few posts on him, but I don't think he has a thread. Could be wrong...

    I found an interview in French where he confirms he's a Yank!

    http://footu21.fr/2015/07/25/siebatcheu-une-chance-pour-moi/


    Pour finir, tu es né à Washington. Pourrais-tu jouer pour les Etats-Unis dans le futur ?

    Oui, j’ai aussi la nationalité américaine. Je n’ai jamais été contacté pour intégrer les sélections de jeunes. C’est quelque chose qui pourrait m’intéresser, pourquoi pas. Mais je n’y pense pas du tout pour l’instant, je me concentre sur mon club. Si tu es bon en club, tu as ensuite ce que tu mérites.

    My French is a little rusty, but here's my translation:

    Q: Finally, you were born in Washington. Would you be able to play for the USA in the future?

    A: Yes, I also have the U.S. nationality. I've never been contacted about being included in the youth teams. It is something that could interest me. Why not? But I'm not thinking about it at all right now. I'm focused on my club. If you're good at the club, then you'll get what you deserve.



    Looks like he's doing well off the bench, according to the club's website.
    8 games played, 3 goals, 276 minutes played, 1 goal per 90 minutes.

    As a bit of a side note, http://fussballn.de/ seems to have a pretty large database of potential leads, albeit lower-division ones.

    Dave, please find us some more players. The NT needs a lot of help.

    Good idea. It might be easiest to look in Major League Soccer first, since if I recall correctly there are already many known American players there. ;)

    Here's American-born Henry Ramon, an '01 apparently with Deportivo Cuenca in Ecuador.

    http://www.ecuafutbol.org/web/modal.php?cedula=12809

    There are actually more of these guys -- will come back to this later, I guess. Since this is the official Ecuador soccer web site, these guys in some ways may not be candidates for this thread. They're real guys, who an official source are (or recently were) overseas and are Yanks. However, given their youth and the relatively messy state of some Ecuadorian club sites, I haven't confirmed most of these guys current whereabouts. When that's done, they could get their own threads if the situation warrants.

    A few database sites say a '92 named Dario Joya at Santa Tecla in El Salvador is American.



    A player with that name played some JuCo ball at Hill College in Texas. Could be the same guy, no idea.

    Would love to help out Bolivian Fuego, truth be told these are very young players registered in small clubs, Now the fact that they are American born is not a surprise, it is very common for families who have Visa to travel to US to give birth just so the child can be American, also, A lot of the Immigrant families that had babies over there eventually came back to Ecuador but the kids are Americans.
