New Balance signs US midfielder Yunus Musah to football roster
Born in New York to Ghanaian parents, Yunus developed at Arsenal before beginning his senior career in La Liga with Valencia CF in 2020, quickly rising through the club’s youth and reserve teams. At just 17 years old, he became the youngest non-Spanish goalscorer in Valencia’s history, announcing himself as a fearless, explosive presence in the midfield.
New Balance has signed US international midfielder Yunus Musah to its global football roster, strengthening its line-up of young talent.
The 23-year-old has earned 47 caps for the USMNT and was named US Soccer Young Male Player of the Year in 2022 after standout World Cup performances.
His signing follows recent additions including Yan Diomande, Djed Spence, Samu Aghehowa and Tyler Dibling.
Yunus continues to make his mark at the highest levels of the game, competing both domestically and internationally. A key figure for the US Men’s National Team, he became the youngest American to start a match on the game’s biggest global stage. At the 2022 tournament in Qatar, he earned international praise as a breakout young player, highlighted by standout performances against England and Iran. That same year, he was named US Soccer Young Male Player of the Year. On loan from AC Milan, Yunus currently plays for Atalanta BC, a New Balance-sponsored club.
“From my first meeting with the brand, I could tell New Balance was the right fit,” said New Balance athlete Yunus Musah. “I immediately noticed the quality of the kits, and when I put on my first pair of boots, I could feel how well-crafted and comfortable they were. Knowing that we share the same shared vision and values, I’m excited about what we can build together and where our relationship can go.”
“Yunus represents an exciting young talent in global football and has already made his mark on the international stage with the United States,” said Andrew McGarty, Senior Director of Global Football Sports Marketing at New Balance. “He’s a dynamic, versatile midfielder with a fearless approach to the game, and as an American brand, we’re proud to welcome him to our roster and excited about what we can build together as he continues to grow at the highest level.”
