Sporting's Gianluca Busio billed as one of the top young players to watch in 2020

After enjoying a breakout campaign in 2019, Sporting Kansas City Academy product and U.S. youth international Gianluca Busio is looking to take another big step in 2020.

The 17-year-old became the youngest MLS player to score in consecutive league matches last season and finished the year with 26 competitive appearances. With momentum and buzz on his side, the talented midfielder has been tabbed one of the league's top 10 young players for the 2020 season by MLSsoccer.com.

"Despite being the youngest player on this list, Gianluca Busio is already entering his fourth professional season," writes Benjamin Baer.
