It’s no longer a question of if but when Rapids teen sensation Cole Bassett will be sold to a big European club.
The 19-year-old Littleton native has caught fire in recent weeks, having scored goals in three of his last six starts while tacking on three assists. He has not only shown he’s a capable MLS starter he’s also proved his worth as one of the most promising American soccer prospects.
In just four games last fall and winter he scored four goals with the United States U-20 National Team. In between those two stints, he spent time training with Arsenal — marking the second winter he’d time spent overseas after a 10-day trip with Freiburg.
