Nor Italy, neither England or Ghana. Yunus Diamoara Musah has chosen to defend the US shirt at the international level. He's now part of a huge young talented group guided by Christian Pulisic. The 17-year-old midfielder scored his first goal for Valencia CF last Sunday and now he is part of the team.

Yunus was born in New York to a Ghanaian family. When he was a baby, they moved to south Italy, where he started playing soccer. Yunus and his family lived for ten years in Italy, just before Musah was recruited by Arsenal FC scouts.

He the moved to London at 14 years old and later on represented England in U-15 and U-17 divisions. Last year, Arsenal failed to made him sign a long term deal, so he left the club and joined Valencia CF because he liked his youth system. 

According to the website Transfermarkt, Musah's current value is 5 million euros. Neither way, his release clause is above the 60 million euros. An because he has recently made his first team debut, it's more appropriate to say that his value is much higher than 5 million. Because he is just 17, and because he plays very well, and very similarly to Kevin De Bruyne.
