As the NFL brings its international spectacle to Frankfurt with the Dolphins vs. Chiefs game, the city’s own sports scene touts a young American star of its own. Paxten Aaronson, a soccer player, has been recently gaining popularity in Germany. The 20-year-old is an attacking midfielder. He was recently acquired by Eintracht Frankfurt from Philadelphia Union.
