He has four goals and two assists in 14 career UEFA Youth League matches this season, including three goals in five matches this season.

He’s been on the score sheet against Inter Milan, Chelsea, Slavia Prague, and PSV Eindhoven.

De La Fuente’s parents are Haitian and he holds a Spanish passport, but he’s played 19 times for the U.S. youth set-up between the U-16 and U-20 age levels.

These are exciting times!
