Born in New York City, Yunus Musah has already made a name for himself in Spanish soccer. However, the young winger started his career back in the United Kingdom at Arsenal.
Musah was a key part of the Arsenal youth system and was in Unai Emery's plans for the future of Arsenal. However, the American had different ideas and decided to move to Spain to join Valencia CF's B team.
Musah made his debut for Valencia B at the age of 16 in September 2019, in a 0-0 draw with CF La Nucía. He scored his first goal for Valencia B in March 2020 against Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
The 17-year-old American made his debut for the first team in September 2020, starting in a 4-2 win against Levante UD.

Yunus Musah makes €1.1million a year, with a market value of €10million. His net worth is estimated to be €100,000.
Nothing like a World Cup to spark a spending spree, and a tournament in the middle of the domestic season will have agents rubbing their hands with glee. But which players will move club in January?
The United States men's national team (USMNT) made it nine games unbeaten with a 2-1 away win against Northern Ireland on Sunday.
