Major League Soccer has listed Seattle Sounders midfielder Cristian Roldan as No. 13 on its annual “24 Under 24” list highlighting the league’s 24 best players under 24 years old.
Roldan, 22, was No. 24 on last year’s edition. Sounders forward Jordan Morris, who was No. 3 last year, was also named as a finalist on 2017’s 50-person short list.
“It’s humbling for sure to be on that list,” Roldan said. “There’s quite a few young [Designated Players] on that list so to be alongside them and even higher than a few is a satisfying feeling, but for me there’s more room for improvement to get to the highest point.
