AM, Alexander Smith, Rangers (2008) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸 started for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿s U17s in the UEFA European U17 Championship qualifications and is now provisionally tied to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. He would now require a one-time switch to play for 🇺🇸.

Smith’s biggest issue is that he’s very physically and athletically underdeveloped.

Theoretically, he could be good at full maturation. The issue becomes that the U-17’s have other players like that at his position who are also just overall more talented than him.

 

We never have players who are outwardly religious,(which this young man certainly is, judging by his social media). Wonder if he will find the Canadian set up a a bit of a cultural adjustment.
