From Christian Pulisic to Giovanni Reyna and Josh Sargent to Chris Richards, there have been quite a few American players catapult onto the scene via the Bundesliga.
The latest USMNT prospect making his presence felt in Germany is Augsburg’s Noahkai Banks.

He rose through the ranks for club and country, representing the USMNT at the U-17, U-19 and U-20 level, before eventually making his senior debut for Augsburg on January 12, 2025.
He’s taken it up a notch this season by establishing himself as an instrumental figure on the right side of Augsburg’s back three.
