It’s safe to say that Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio is ahead of the curve on the field. The 16-year-old has recently become the youngest player in MLS history to score in consecutive matches and is one of three players to score four career MLS goals before his 17th birthday.
The Sporting Kansas City Academy product, who hails from Greensboro, North Carolina, has become an important contributor during a busy start to the season with nine appearances in all competitions. And while his performances throughout March and April have impressed fans and pundits across the country, Busio has every intention of keeping a level head amidst his meteoric rise.
