Los Angeles FC demonstrated to be the best team if we talk about Academy Players. They used 9 youth players from the club this season and all of them had a great future. This was a necessity for Bob Bradley because he lost his main star of the club due to an injury, Carlos Vela.

Diego Rossi became the new striker of the club. He has scored 16 goals in 21 matches this year. When he arrived in Los Angeles, the team payed $3 million dollars for him and now he is valued at almost $22. It is just a matter of time before an important European club buy him.

The candidates to get Rossi are Atletico Madrid. He is the perfect player for this squad. First of all, Diego Simeone has recruited a lot of players from Uruguay because of the style of game they has which is so similar to the International Uruguay Team. He would fit there really quick.

Then, the physical part. Rossi proved that he could compete with any striker in the league with only 22 years. Simeone insists on the physicality of the players and the stamina that they should have if they want to play in Atletico. That’s another strong part of LAFC striker’s game.
