Former Oregon State star and current Philadelphia Union rookie forward Danny Mwanga is the frontrunner for MLS' rookie of the year award.
Former Oregon State and Jefferson High star Danny Mwanga has been contacted by the Democratic Republic of Congo about joining the country's national team.
The Philadelphia Union forward, who is the leading contender for MLS rookie of the year award, said he is also considering joining the U.S. national team.
"I've been in touch with a couple of guys (from the Congolese national team...I told them that I was thinking about joining the U.S. national team as well," Mwanga told MLS.com. "Now that we're almost done with the season, it's something I have to sit down and think about it. I haven't made a decision yet to play for Congo or for USA."
Mwanga, 19, has started just three of the past six Union games while nursing a separated left shoulder. But he has already scored seven goals and his raw talent has U.S. national team soccer officials and fans thinking about his addition to the team.
