While the 2022 World Cup has yet to kick off, the United States Men’s National Team may have won a major recruiting victory ahead of the next cycle. Alejandro Zendejas, a former youth international, appears to have switched back over from Mexico. The 24-year-old is enjoying a transformative season with Club América in Liga MX, displaying the talent to boost both programs. His increasingly influential performances indicate that he could be a key figure moving forward.
Born in Juárez and raised in El Paso, Zendejas played with Cobras El Paso and Texas Fire and joined the FC Dallas Academy in 2012 after spending time at a local affiliate.
