Rumor: Cameroon's Anatole Abang turned down offer to play for USA

Say what?

The New York Red Bulls' Anatole Abang has been used sparingly in 2016: just two off-the-bench appearances for a total of 46 minutes in MLS so far this season. He has yet to score a goal in competitive play this year, but his performances in 2015 have clearly been sufficient to attract attention: Kristian Dyer has reported rumors of interest in the 19-year-old forward from top-flight clubs in Spain and France; his senior national team has called him to its squad for Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.
