MLS expansion side Inter Miami (set to begin play in 2020) announced the signing of 19-year-old attacking midfielder George Acosta. The Miami native is the fifth player and first American to join Inter Miami. <\/p>\n
Acosta joins Miami from USL Championship side Austin Bold FC, which he signed for in August after leaving Argentine powerhouse Boca Juniors. Acosta played for Bocas U-20 and reserve teams, but was unable to break into the first team. <\/p>\n
He will remain with the Bold until January 2020. He has made two appearances for the club and recorded one assist. <\/p>\n
Acosta has been a long-time U.S. youth international and was called in for a U-23 training camp in June. He played with the U.S. at the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India, making two appearances and scoring one goal. <\/p>\n
The U.S. advanced to the quarterfinals in that tournament before losing 4-1 to Brazil. While Acosta has only featured for U.S. youth teams, he is also eligible to represent Colombia. <\/p>\n
