My Take
Cavan Sullivan carries the heaviest label in American soccer, prodigy, and what interests me is how sensibly his path has been structured. Signing a first-team deal with Philadelphia Union as one of the youngest players in MLS history could have been a publicity stunt; instead it comes with a built-in bridge to Manchester City at eighteen, which tells me serious people believe in a long arc, not a viral moment. A teenage midfielder competing against grown professionals has to learn quickly or get swallowed, and everything suggests he is learning. I try not to crown teenagers, but Sullivan is the rare case where the hype and the planning actually match.
