A USMNT starlet who has been compared with Virgil van Dijk has earned himself a move to two-time European champions Benfica in a ground-breaking deal.
Kentucky-born Josh Wynder has experienced something of a whirlwind year, having emerged as one of the USA's brightest prospects while turning out for his hometown club Louisville City. After making his professional debut in 2021, the 18-year-old has been a mainstay for his side in the USL Championship over the past couple of years.
After impressing with his boyhood side, he soon received national recognition, starring for the USMNT U-20s, while even receiving a place the preliminary roster for the upcoming senior Gold Cup squad. This follows a call-up to the senior squad which came earlier this year for a friendly against Mexico.
