MLS hoping to sign USA young gun Junior Flores

Major League Soccer officials are hoping they can ward off interest from Europe for USA U17 international Herber Mejia 'Junior' Flores.

The 15-year old produced some brilliant performances for the US U17s at the Nike International Friendlies tournament in late November and early December and now a host of MLS clubs including Seattle Sounders, San Jose Earthquakes, FC Dallas and Chicago Fire are circling.

MLS want to sign him to a Generation adidas contract ahead of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft on January 12.
