United States youth international Giovanni Reyna has been promoted to the Borussia Dortmund senior squad just six months after joining the club’s academy.
The 17-year-old moved to Germany from MLS side New York City FC last summer and initially joined up with the club’s under-19 squad, though he did join the senior squad on their pre-season tour of the United States.
The attacking midfielder, son of former American internationals Claudio Reyna and Danielle Egan Reyna, impressed with the youth team, scoring eight goals and registering a further eight assists in 16 appearances during the first half of the season.
