FC Dallas goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez enjoyed a breakout season in MLS, and now he appears ready to reap the rewards for that success in the form of a national team call-up.

What may be a surprise is just which national team he will be joining soon.

Gonzalez has accepted a call-up to the U.S. national team's January training camp, sources have confirmed to Goal USA. The 20-year-old North Carolina native spent his formative years living in Texas and playing for the Mexican youth national team setup, but his excellent play for FC Dallas in the second half of the 2015 season turned heads and attracted the attention of Jurgen Klinsmann, who could be ready to pry the prospect away from 'El Tri'.

I'm sure they have "9 keepers" better than him south of the border

FC Dallas is doing good things with their academy I think. Alex Zendejas looks promising as well.

FC Dallas' academy is legit. Gonzalez would be a hell of an addition to our squad.

Not a fan of players that flirt with El Tri, especially ones born, raised, and formed here, but this kid is legit. I'll take it.

Do we know that he turned down the USMNT youth set up? What if El Tri came calling, but we didn't?

I thought he was pretty solidly tied to Mexico so this news surprised me.
