Bundesliga Teen Faces Career-Defining Choice Between USMNT and Germany Before 2026 World Cup—Who Will He Pick?
He looks to take risks in possession, knowing he has the technical prowess to pull it off. Whether it’s receiving on the turn and navigating out of a tricky press, or spraying a ball into the final third, Banks exudes composure.

Banks ranks third in Augsburg’s squad with 35.3 accurate passes per 90 (90% accuracy) and 2.3 accurate long balls per 90 in the Bundesliga. He’s also proving more adept at locking down opposing forwards and intervening before the danger can manifest, ranking second among his teammates with 1.8 tackles per 90.
Banks has asserted himself as one of the most promising defensive stars in the Bundesliga, helping Augsburg go from the relegation zone to a fairly comfortable mid-table position. There’s reason to believe that he could make his official international debut in this summer’s World Cup. The only question is: Will it be for the USA or Germany?
