Who is Chris Gloster? The Hannover defender who could be the USMNT left back of the future

The U.S. Under-20 national team defender is one of several young Americans developing in Germany, and could be the USMNT answer at left back one day

Considering the wave of young American talent that has made its way to Germany in recent years, leading to the development of the likes of Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie, perhaps it is inevitable that the U.S. national team's lengthy search for a reliable left back will also find an answer in Germany.

Chris Gloster knows about the USMNT's struggles at the left back position, and the 18-year-old defender is hoping to put himself in position to be a solution to the problem.
