The official "Some site says this guy is a Yank" detective work thread

I found another article saying he's also the nephew of Johnny, which I guess means he's either Edwin's son, or maybe there was another brother? (Perhaps named Darryl?) The latter part -- well, not the part about Darryl -- may be likeliest, based on this article. Nothing I've found seems to specifically say his dad was Edwin, which you'd think would be pretty well known if it were the case.

Probably I can just start a thread, but this organization says an '06 named Kamil Mosionek is Polish/American.

TM backs that up:

That seems to be this player who was appearing for Salernitana's Primavera team this spring:

https://salernitana.it/news/primavera-2-napoli-salernitana-1-2-il-tabellino/

Has a U.S. playing background:

 

Huh. That could very well be correct (especially since I'm wrong all the time) but... here's an article that seems to indicate that Milton's son Yochua says his cousin is Derick.

Or maybe the translation is off?

 

I don't know that this is where that person's info comes from, but it may have been this (it was a response to a post I was tagged in):

I know a German-American who is u17 and plays for Sandhausen youth team in the Bundesliga(Youth). I am friends with his mom from my time in Germany.

His name who I am talking about is Kailen Wagner. German-American, he plays LB and is 17 but is moving up to the U19 team next month. I know he would be willing to come over and try out for teams. He either go to college or play or try out for USL teams.

Julian Markvoort Beke has moved to Germany.

It looks like Soccerway changed the way its "Players Abroad" pages work. So you go here:

https://int.soccerway.com/players/players-abroad/

Then you pick a country from the pulldown at top right and scan through countries one at a time.

I think? It's a bit weird.

EDIT: I see there's been a bit of a redesign there. Will poke around a bit more later.

 

Going all the way back to the second post in this thread: Is this the same guy who is listed as co-trainer at Koeln?

https://fc.de/mannschaften/fc-akademie/u19

 

The Turkish Fed's site says there is or was an American-born '07 at Galatasaray named Efe Gündal.

https://tff.org/Default.aspx?pageId=526&kisiId=2093609

Soccerway has similar info.

https://int.soccerway.com/players/efe-g-ndal/994275/

TM lists the player but doesn't mention a birthplace or non-Turkish citizenship.

https://www.transfermarkt.us/efe-gundal/profil/spieler/1319040

There's a player listed on the club site with a U12 team; if it's the same guy, obviously that's an old listing, but it would suggest he's been there a while. Whatever the case, it's probably safe to start a thread, given the fed link above.

A number of sites, including TM, indicate that an '01 named Aboubacar Cisse is American.

 

A Norwich fansite says an '04 GK named Mason Brown who played for the club's U18s in April is American.

http://www.ex-canaries.co.uk/players/brown-mason.htm

The club's site confirms that a player with that name did do that thing, coming on as a second-half sub in a game against Western Ham.

https://www.canaries.co.uk/match/2478648/lineups

TM doesn't really add much.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/mason-brown/profil/spieler/1395573

This site says he's England-born.

https://www.playmakerstats.com/player/mason-brown/2532009?search=1

And:

https://www.premierleague.com/en/players/604523/mason-brown/overview

I haven't super quickly cleared up exactly who this guy might be but maybe of some note.

 

I don't really know what to make of the Sevilla "D" team but there are or recently were at least two guys listed as American (Webb and Mangles) there.

https://sevillafcacademy.com/en/jugador

 

A player named Sorin Ziane was with SPAL in Italy last season. I've seen at least one site call him American, but haven't seen that supported. He seems to pretty clearly be Canadian and perhaps also Romanian, which isn't to say he can't also be American.

Could be this guy who has evidently been in Germany for a bit and, perhaps, Spain before that.
