Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio is a young man of many talents.
For starters, the 17-year-old is pretty darn good at soccer. As one of the brightest prospects in the sport, Busio has already scored four career goals for Sporting while representing the United States at the U-15, U-17 and U-20 levels.
Busio can also speak multiple languages—he's got some Spanish and Italian under his belt—and his maturity, both on and off the field, conveys a character much older than 17.
As for these outrageous trick shots on Tik Tok? This is next-level stuff.
It should come as little surprise, then, that Busio will appear on the newest episode of MLS Idle: Soccer’s Hidden Talents, streaming on the MLS Twitter and Facebook platforms at 6:30 p.m. CT Thursday.
Busio's TikTok talents will go head-to-head against the lesser-known skills of three other MLS players over the course of the 30-minute program. An integral component of MLS Idle asks fans to vote for their favorite talent on each episode. Fan voting will open during Thursday’s episode and close Sunday at 11 p.m. CT.
Supporters can cast a vote for Busio by posting #MLSIdle Busio on Twitter or in the Facebook Live comments section during the voting window.
