When Arsenal takes on the MLS All-Stars on Thursday, U.S. Men's National Team fans will get a glimpse of a potential star.

Midfielder Gedion Zelalem, 19, is a German-born prodigy who plays for Arsenal and the USMNT youth academy. He spent last season on loan at Rangers, where he made 28 league and cup appearances with the Scottish side. He helped the club gain promotion to the Scottish Premier League.
