    27-year-old La Liga striker Chris Ramos, currently at Cádiz, could reportedly be eligible for the USMNT through is father.

    “My dad is American and played basketball in Spain. I’ve never had a relationship with him but that’s where my name [Christopher] comes from,” he told El Norte de Castilla.

    Is this legit?

    Any thread on this player already?

    He is a bit of a (slightly) known entity.

    Here's the info from the DW thread:

    Chris Ramos

    TM: https://www.transfermarkt.com/chris-ramos/profil/spieler/538810
    Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Ramos#cite_note-17 which includes this snippet (original source behind a paywall): Christopher, my father, was American and played basketball in Spain, although he did not become a professional. I have never had a relationship with him but my name comes from there.

    Almost certainly is American based on that information, but may be a big need for getting the proof needed from his father to get citizenship.

    Another article from 2018 references briefly his American father:
    https://www.diariodesevilla.es/sevillafc/Chris-Ramos-Tercera-debutar-Primera_0_1277872870.html

    He's 27 and has played 34 La Liga matches.

    A lot will depend on his willingness to go through the hassle (and potential mental pain) of connecting with his father or at least his father's family.
