Interesting - never heard of him before today: Savannah-born Indiana Vassilev Signs Extension with Aston Villa "Vassilev’s career began with Statesboro’s Tormenta FC Academy from 2013-2015 when he switched to IMG Academy in Florida. There, he gained the interest of the US U-17s and in 2016 was first scouted by Aston Villa. Due to his family’s Bulgarian heritage, Vassilev was able to make the jump overseas ahead of his 18th birthday, so in 2018 he signed his first professional contract with Aston Villa. He spent the next two years developing his craft and competing in Aston Villa’s youth sides up to the U-23s before finally impressing at the first team level." www.dirtysouthsoccer.com/2020/6/12/21262971/savannah-born-indiana-vassilev-signs-extension-with-aston-villa

Love stories like this. Need more positive dialogue especially those about our homegrowns here in Georgia!

Curious where he played prior to age 13. I always thought Savannah club soccer was at a HUGE disadvantage playing in Georgia Soccer.
