Fredua Koranteng "Freddy" Adu (born June 2, 1989) is a Ghanaian-born American soccer player who plays for Serbian SuperLiga club Jagodina. Adu plays primarily as an attacking midfielder, but he is also used as a winger or forward.At the age of 14, he became the youngest athlete ever to sign a professional contract in the United States, after he was selected by D.C. United in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft. On April 3, 2004, he became the youngest player to appear in a Major League Soccer (MLS) game when he came on as a substitute in a game against the San Jose Earthquakes. Two weeks later, on April 17, he became the youngest scorer in MLS history, scoring a goal in a 3–2 loss to the MetroStars.Early in his career, Adu was considered an up-and-comer for United States football; much speculation surrounded his potential for future success, and he was even referred to as "the next Pelé". Since then, it has been concluded that he has failed to meet up with those expectations.
