The U.S. youth player has joined Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, linking up with Kevin Prince-Boateng and Sergio Araujo (though it’ll be tough for the youngster to see the pitch early on).

I am very happy to announce that I have officially signed with UD Las Palmas in La Liga. Highly blessed!🇪🇸 pic.twitter.com/sRK528Eq7h
