Werder Bremen hope they have landed the next Christian Pulisic by signing 17-year-old Josh Sargent from St. Louis Scott Gallagher in Missouri.
The USA under-17 international will officially sign professional terms for the Bundesliga side when he turns 18, and he is expected to arrive in northern Germany in time for the second half of the season.
"I'm already looking forward to next year and this new sporting challenge in Bremen," said Sargent, who first wishes to focus on representing his country at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in India in October. "Werder really put a lot of effort into signing me and they've always shown in the past how they can give young talent like me an optimal introduction to professional football.
"That meant it wasn't hard for me to decide to take the next step in my career with Bremen."
