Danny Leyva is an extremely driven individual.
Every offseason, Leyva creates a list of goals he’d like to achieve in the upcoming year. Adorned on the wall of his childhood bedroom in Las Vegas, Nev., the list covers his ambitions on and off the pitch.
After a strong 2019 campaign – he impressed in several starts for the First Team in MLS, guided the U-17s to become the first MLS side to win the Generation adidas Cup Champions Division, and earned a place in the U.S. U-17 World Cup team – Leyva’s objectives for 2020 reflected his desire to build upon that breakout season.

In an offseason so far mostly defined by departures, the Seattle Sounders have finally made an addition and it’s a name locals will know well. Kelyn Rowe was unveiled as the Sounders first new signing of the offseason, joining the team as a free agent and ending a pursuit that was nearly a decade in the making.
“Words can’t describe how happy I am to be able to play at home and be a Sounder,” Rowe said in a message accompanying Friday’s official announcement. “It’s been a dream of mine for a very long time. I can’t wait to step on that field and play in front of you, hopefully very soon.”
