Alessandro "The Wolf" Cupini, son of Eddie Cupini, Italian pasta restaurant owner in Kansas City has been signed by Roma's academy.
This 10 year old sensation is making huge headlines in the United States and on social media.
He currently has more than 40,000 followers on Instagram and also on his dedicated YouTube channel.
The young boy will be able to bypass tough football laws that prevent clubs going for kids younger that 16 by applying for dual citizenship because of his Italian heritage.
"It's going to be a cultural change for us, a language change, it's a pretty big move," said Eddie.
"But he wanted to pursuit. He said 'Dad, I want to live in Rome and play soccer in Europe, that's where the best footballer come from and that's where I want to be."
