MLS: Cavan Sullivan, the 16-year-old prodigy praised by Pochettino
The United States manager, Mauricio Pochettino, praised the young MLS winger Cavan Sullivan of the Philadelphia Union, who was called up to the national team at just sixteen, becoming the second youngest in history, and is already tipped to join Manchester City as soon as he reaches adulthood.
Sullivan is already impressing Major League Soccer with his speed and dribbling, attracting the attention of European observers. His club coach, the Philadelphia Union, highlights his decisive impact from the start. Pochettino said the player has a rare potential for the United States' future.
Manchester City has closely monitored his development and has reached a pre‑contract agreement, conditioned on his reaching adulthood. As soon as he turns eighteen, the English club will be able to formalise his transfer.
