    Long-rumored German-American Ken Gipson is now confirmed by his new club as a YA. I've seen him listed on various sites as a Yank before but could never pin it down:

    Not sure if he was a known quantity to the last U20 program but he's still U23-eligible.

    So, Gipson made his professional debut on 11/1 after subbing on for RB Leipzig's right back in the 30th minute. He started at right back on 11/8 and played 73 minutes.

    RB Leipzig appear to be in a 3-way tie for 1st place in 2. Bundesliga, its a good sign if your breaking in to this squad at 19.

    He got into a couple of matches in BL2.

    But the RB is in the big leagues now.

    Is that based on something the club has said, or just ... common sense? The pertinent graf says:

    Gipson, 20, is a rightback who joined RB Leipzig last summer from VFB Stuttgart and made his debut with the first team in this past spring. The young defender is not firmly cemented in the Leipzig first team, having spent the majority of last year with RB's second team, but he has earned 2. Bundesliga minutes and has a much greater chance of making a Bundesliga breakthrough this year with Leipzig than say Julian Green does with Bayern.
    Seems logical, but doesn't appear to reflect more than reasonable conjecture.

    I'm sure it's mostly guesswork.

    Even the intro was redone. Perhaps done in by an actual editor...
