A young prodigy, who makes a splash at an international tournament, picked up by a big club where they don't get any playing time.
By all accounts, Green was impressive in the Toulon Tournament. He was playing with our U-23s because he was ineligible for the U-20 WC since he had already played for the Germany U-20 team.

Green is now a pro. Zelalem is still a youth player. Difference. Adu was a star through every youth level up through U-23, but his club career never took off. He is only 26 and already seen as a bust. If Green doesn't get his club situation off the ground soon, there will be comparisons. The difference is that Green can drastically change his path by getting a good stable club situation.
If you don't see the similarities, I can't help you, because they are there.
