Real Madrid have snapped up American junior Joshua Pynadath.
Pynadath was invited for trials after a video was sent to Real by his club, De Anza Force Soccer Club. The eleven year-old also tested at Barcelona.
He has now been given a chance by Real Madrid's Alevin A team.
"I was blown away when I got the official news from Real Madrid," he told losaltosonline.com. "They told me that I was the first American that they have ever accepted into their academy. I told them that I would set a good example."
