Could a 17-year-old American be heading to the Eredivisie?

According to a local Eindhoven sports outlet, PSV currently has an American trialing with them. It’s none other that Toronto FC academy product and U.S. U-17 attack Ayo Akinola.

The 17-year-old is not only on trial at the famous Eredivisie club but appears to be impressing with his chance. He’s already found himself on the scoresheet in a friendly for the club’s U-19 team. He found the net in a 5-0 win over Racing Genk on Tuesday.

Thanks to FIFA rules, Akinola is unable to sign anywhere in Europe without a European passport until his 18th birthday.
