Official : Toronto Next Big Hope Akinola Is Among The Hottest Academy Prospects In MLS

United States U17 international Ayo Akinola has been named among the top Academy prospects in Major League Soccer, ahead of the Generation Adidas Cup which runs from April 7-15 in Frisco, Texas.

The official website of Major League Soccer  has picked the top academy stars for every MLS club, with Akinola the top player at Toronto FC.

“Thumb through the current US U17 team and one of the first names to jump off the page should be Ayo Akinola’s.

“He’s arguably the most exciting wide attacking player on a team that also features Atlanta United’s Andrew Carleton, if that tells you anything,” MLS wrote.

Akinola has yet to sign a contract with Toronto FC but that could change in the coming weeks.
