One of the youngsters with the most hype in the world is 14-year-old American Cavan Sullivan. The teenage attacking midfielder is the youngest MLS player in history, has already signed with Manchester City and scored a worldie on Monday.
During an MLS Next Pro game against Columbus Crew 2, Sullivan opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a fantastic finish.
The phenom received the ball from outside the box following a cleared corner kick and lasered a shot to the far post. What a strike.

This was his fourth goal of the season.
As Sullivan matures, he’s expected to get more minutes with Philadelphia’s first team. When he turns 18, he will transfer to Premier League giants Manchester City.
