On Wednesday, 15-year-old Sounders FC midfielder Danny Leyva became the youngest signing in club history.
“I’m really excited for this opportunity and for signing with Sounders,” said Leyva. “It’s a dream come true. All the hard work I’ve put in since I was little, and all the people that helped me along the way, I just want to give them a big ‘thank you’ as well.”
A cerebral, box-to-box midfielder, Leyva’s rise from promising Academy player to full-fledged MLS professional has been a bit of whirlwind.
