Seattle Sounders FC Academy forward Azriel Gonzalez is currently in training camp with the United States U-16 Boys National Team. A regular for both club and country, this is Gonzalez’s first call up of 2017, as well as his fourth since September. The young striker scored a goal in his last appearance with the Stars and Stripes.
After finishing up 2016 in searing form, Gonzalez kicked off the New Year with a match-winning assist against Portland Timbers. His prominent displays with the Academy were rewarded with an invitation from Sounders FC head coach Brian Schmetzer to join the first team for preseason.
