The kids are making waves for Philadelphia Union.
On Matt Doyle's list of homegrown players destined for big things, Brenden Aaronson took the top spot, ahead of other top MLS prospects such as Dallas' Ricardo Pepi and NYCFC's James Sands.
Aaronson is having a second straight breakout season and has drawn interest from top teams in Germany and Austria. The New Jersey native's all-action style is a perfect fit for modern high-press systems that have proliferated throughout European soccer. After earning a spot in the best XI of the MLS Is Back Tournament, Aaronson has continued to thrive and capped his rise with a golazo against New York Red Bulls last Sunday.
