New Homegrowns abound, goalkeepers rule as TDS begins the 2024 edition of the MLS Top 50 Prospect list.
MORE: 31-40 | 21-30 | 11-20 | 1-10
Articles will be released every day this week counting down the list from 50 through the first overall player.
Check out the full list of players and the criteria for it. Below is the first look at the 2024 list.
50. Zidane Yanez – CF – New York City FC
DOB: 1/26/2008 | HT: 5-11 | WT: 150 | Last Year’s Ranking: N/A
The 16-year-old striker is a Chilean-American youth international, with camp appearances for both countries. He’s a talented and technical striker that can drop in and create as well as score. Being effective at the youth level is a much different proposition than MLS, though NYCFC has shown faith in him by giving him a five-year deal. He’ll be eligible to play in MLS NEXT in 2024-25, though ideally will play more for New York City FC II in the coming campaign. The upcoming season will give a better picture of his potential, as he gets more action there against a slightly higher level of competition.
