1. Kellyn Acosta

At 22 years old Kellyn Acosta has been at FC Dallas since he was 14. Acosta was an integral part of the FC Dallas squad that won the 2016/2017 Supporters Shield and U.S. Open Cup. Dallas also made an appearance in the CONCACAF Champions League.

The versatile midfielder has represented the United States at every age level and already has 17 caps to his name. He should be a key figure in the middle going forward. He also has the ability to play left-back, which is a position the U.S. desperately need help at.

Check out Kellyn’s first goal with the National Team below.

Acosta’s notable accomplishments with the U.S. include helping secure a draw back on June 11th against Mexico at the Estadio Azteca. At the time, that was a great result.

A move to Europe is definitely in the future for Acosta who has a strong desire to play over there. A few teams have shown interest dating back to August.
