Teenage forward Josh Sargent, a rising star in the U.S. national team system, has agreed to a pro contract with Bundesliga club Werder Bremen. He’ll formally join the team when he turns 18 in February. The Missouri native burst onto the international scene this spring by scoring five goals at CONCACAF’s U-17 World Cup qualifying tournament. He then reported to the U-20s at the World Cup in South Korea, where he scored four times in five matches. He’ll play in the U-17 World Cup in India, starting in two weeks.
