Cole Bassett: the MLS prospect that fascinates Tim Howard and could be worth a fortune

With only 19 years, Bassett has already played 36 matches in the MLS with Colorado Rapids and scored 7 goals, not bad for a midfielder. It seems that the team will not make it to the Playoffs, but next season this wonderkid can become a star in the League and earn a starting spot.

Tim Howard, the historic USA goalkeeper, loves him. He said that the most important thing was that Bassett is one of their own. It is true that he grew up in the academy system, he is from the area and he wants to keep wearing Colorado shirt. Is this what the squad needs to be real contenders?

Howard also said that Cole had the full package and was not very often to find a young player with all the attributes he has. In the last matches it was easy to appreciate the quality of Bassett, he is not scared of anything. He makes the hard choices, plays in the tight spaces. That’s why Tim defines him as a future key player.

Last match against SJ Earthquakes, the midfielder was on the starting team behind Andre Shinyashiki and he scored the first goal of the team. He is not afraid of responsibilities and if this continues, he will be able to move to Europe pretty soon for a lot of money.
