Much like newly-signed midfield anchor Dru Yearwood, the story that leads 24-year-old forward Samuel Tetteh to New York Red Bulls (on loan from sister club Red Bull Salzburg where he is still under contract through 2022) is one of early potential that is still far from faded away. A rapid rise from local obscurity to the brink of European stardom has been stalled enough by knee injuries and the thin margins of the Red Bull talent pipeline to merit a reset with a New York team desperate for attacking energy.
Tetteh hails from the town of Odumase Krobo (sometimes Krobo Odumase) in central Ghana, where he was raised with his three siblings.
