Brek Shea: Artist – YouTube
USA midfielder Brek Shea is to train with Arsenal in the coming weeks. FC Dallas, Shea’s current club, are keen to emphasise that the 21 year old is not on trial in England. His time in London will be purely one of education and physical preparation. Shea has made rapid progress this season and is seen by many as the brightest young talent in the MLS. At 6’3″ Shea is a physically imposing midfield player. Raised as a defender but now more notable for attacking play he is a post modern player, his stature belittling considerable technical subtlety.
Shea also paints an interesting figure off the pitch. Away from football his great love is art. Shea’s paintings have sold successfully across the US – he is a young man of many talents. He has almost outgrown the MLS, it will surely not be long before he is painting footballing pictures on foreign fields.
