Mix Diskerud announced himself on the world stage with New York City's first ever goal in the MLS in January 2015, while plying his trade with the likes of Frank Lampard and David Villa in the Big Apple.

While the midfielder was helping the expansion club get off the ground at the time, it's fair to say he already had quite the pedigree in football, such was the rapport he already had with fans of the USMNT.

With Visit Britain running an exciting competition to bring the biggest Super Fan in the world over to England to take in a Premier League game of their choice, it's time to take a look at a talented player who could make a similar journey across the pond.

A gifted technician, Diskerud scored one of the most famous goals in the history of the United States national side, finishing off a wonderful 30-pass move to help beat world champions Germany in 2015. While not the most imposing physical presence, the Norwegian-born midfielder's ability to beat players lifted backsides from seats.

Starting his career in his native Norway, he helped his first club Stabæk win the Superfinalen (Norwegian Super Cup) and also spent time on loan with Belgian outfit Genk. Schooled in the technical environment of European football, Diskerud was a departure from other American players of his generation.

While he's struggled to wholly convince in New York of late as Patrick Vieira imposes a new style of play, resulting in a loan move to Swedish side IFK Göteborg, perhaps a move to the Premier League would be a wise avenue for him to explore.

Likely to have a huge amount of commercial appeal with him, Diskerud's natural ability and poise on the ball should make him an interesting option.
