Seattle Sounders midfielder Danny Leyva and forward Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez have been turning plenty of heads for club and country of late.
Leyva and Ocampo-Chavez, both of whom recently signed Homegrown contracts after impressing with the Tacoma Defiance and Sounders Academy U-17s, are in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., with the U.S. U-17 men’s national team at the Concacaf Championship, which serves as the qualifying event for the 2019 U-17 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
In a squad littered with some of the top prospects in the U.S. Soccer pipeline, the pair has stood out among the top performers for a side that finished atop Group F, appearing in all three wins against Canada, Barbados and Guatemala.
