Description
Fredua Koranteng "Freddy" Adu is a Ghanaian-born American soccer player who plays for Serbian SuperLiga club Jagodina. Adu plays primarily as an attacking midfielder, but he is also used as a winger or forward.
At the age of 14, he became the youngest athlete ever to sign a professional contract in the United States, after he was selected by D.C. United in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft. On April 3, 2004, he became the youngest player to appear in a Major League Soccer game when he came on as a substitute in a game against the San Jose Earthquakes. Two weeks later, on April 17, he became the youngest scorer in MLS history, scoring a goal in a 3?2 loss to the MetroStars.
Early in his career, Adu was considered an up-and-comer for United States football; much speculation surrounded his potential for future success, and he was even referred to as "the next Pel�".
