Major League Soccer continues to strengthen its reputation as a league more than capable of developing young talent and providing pathways for players to Europe.
We've seen time and time again young players joining MLS teams before setting the league on fire and makeing the jump to a European side. For example, Miguel Almirón did just that in 2017 and 2018 before signing for Newcastle United in January 2019.
Although his time in the Windy City was rather short, Jhon Durán is another example of a player moving to MLS before making the leap abroad as the Colombian is now scoring screamers every other week for Aston Villa in England.
The same can be said for the likes of Alphonso Davies, Caleb Wiley, Carlos Andrés Gómez and Brenner who all played their trade in the North American league before signing for teams in Europe.
