Inter Miami’s young sensation David Ruiz is generating a lot of interest in MLS. The 21-year-old midfielder has impressed with his performances in recent games and in despite his young age, the Honduran Football Federation (FENAFUTH) is reported to be considered calling him up for the national team. However, according to the player’s representative, the United States has set its sights on him and is also considering calling him.

“David has sentimental attachment to both Honduras and the United States; it’s a very difficult decision because he has an interest in both and he must make the best decision. It’s emotional for him but we are very happy that he is being recognized,” his representative, Pedro Nery, told Deporte Total USA, adding that Ruiz, who came up through Miami’s youth system, was very happy to have completed his sixth full game of the regular season, his second in succession, in Sunday’s 1-1 draw against New York City.
