Giovanni Alejandro Reyna (born November 13, 2002) is an American professional soccer player who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Premier League club Nottingham Forest, on loan from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund, and the United States national team. Considered one of the best young players in the world,[3][4][5] he is known for his playmaking, positioning, and dribbling abilities.[citation needed]
Reyna began his youth career with his hometown club, New York City FC, and had his breakthrough with Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. During the 2019–20 DFB-Pokal he became the youngest scorer in the German Cup's history at the age of 17, and was a part of the team that won the following 2020–21 DFB-Pokal.[6] In 2020 he became the youngest Bundesliga player to create a hat trick of assists.[7] He was on the final shortlist for the 2021 Golden Boy and 2021 Kopa Trophy.[8]
Born to U.S. national team players Claudio Reyna and Danielle Reyna, he has represented the United States at several youth levels, scoring 16 goals in 31 youth caps. Reyna made his debut for the senior team in November 2020 and won the CONCACAF Nations League in 2021, 2023, and 2024, winning the best player overall of the latter.[9] Individually he won a U.S. Soccer Young Male Player of the Year award in 2020.
