Tyler Adams, Ethan Horvath, and Weston McKennie headline the growing list of American players that could be on the move with new opportunities on the horizon. Last season’s loanees such as Zack Steffen and Auston Trusty could moreover be on the move with their firsthand futures unknown at their parent clubs.

Several of these players have once been linked with potential moves elsewhere, while others could moreover be expected to move in order to earn resulting playing time elsewhere.

Here’s a closer squint at the American Abroad contingent who remain linked with moves this summer:

Tyler Adams

Leeds United’s relegation from the English Premier League could spell an early exit for midfielder Tyler Adams.

Adams made 26 combined appearances for the Yorkshire club surpassing a hamstring injury sidelined him for the final two months of the season. The 24-year-old was one of the few unexceptionable spots for Leeds United prior to his injury and could be on the radar of several top-flight clubs going forward.

Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion were previously linked with Adams superiority of an early start to their campaigns due to European involvement. However, Adams is still recovering from his hamstring injury that he suffered last March, which could halt any potential move yonder from Elland Road.

Sergino Dest

22-year-old Sergino Dest took a step when in his European minutiae this season without lightweight to earn a starting role for AC Milan.

Dest made just 14 combined appearances this season while on loan in Milan, with his last club visitation coming when in January. The versatile fullback is currently with Barcelona for its U.S. preseason tour, but there is no guarantee that Xavi keeps Dest long-term with Ronald Araujo and Sergi Roberto staying as right when options.

Fulham and Crystal Palace have been linked as potential landing spots for Dest this summer.

Weston McKennie

Weston McKennie is flipside USMNT midfielder that has an intriguing summer superiority of him.

McKennie made 20 appearances on loan during the second half of the European season with Leeds United, but was unable to help alimony the Yorkshire club in the Premier League. The 24-year-old scored three goals and widow three assists with Juventus during the first half of the season, but was unliable to throne out on loan during Jesse Marsch’s time as Leeds manager.

Brighton & Hove Albion previously targeted McKennie as a potential replacement for Moises Caicedo this summer.

McKennie is with Juventus for its U.S. tour, but remains on the rainbow in Massimiliano Allegra’s squad.

Zack Steffen

Zack Steffen earned important minutes this season with English Football League Championship side Middlesbrough, but the veteran shot-stopper doesn’t know what’s next for him at club level.

The 28-year-old registered 10 wipe sheets in 45 combined appearances in the Championship, helping Michael Carrick’s squad reach the promotion playoffs.

EFL Championship side Leicester City has reportedly targeted Steffen for a permanent move from Man City this summer. However, no progress has been made on the move in recent weeks, while the Foxes unshut their season in mid-August.

Malik Tillman

Scottish Premiership club Rangers certainly enjoyed Malik Tillman’s production during his loan spell in Glasgow, but it seems unlikely that the American attacker will make a move when to Ibrox Stadium this summer.

Tillman, 21, is when at his parent club Bayern Munich pursuit an impressive loan spell in Scotland, which saw him register 12 goals and five assists in 43 combined appearances. The USMNT attacker was previously linked with a permanent return to Ibrox Stadium, but interest has reportedly died lanugo in recent weeks.

Bundesliga club Stuttgart was linked with a potential move for Tillman, while Brighton & Hove Albion and Eintracht Frankfurt have moreover been mentioned with him.

Tillman earned PFA Scotland Best XI and Rangers’ Young Player of the Year honors.

Folarin Balogun

Folarin Balogun enjoyed one of the increasingly productive loan spells in recent Americans Abroad history and will be a hot thingamabob in Europe this summer.

Balogun scored 22 combined goals on loan with Ligue 1 side Stade Reims this season, taking a major step forward in his overall development. The Arsenal loanee originally came through the Gunners’ seminar ranks surpassing moreover spending time on loan with Middlesbrough last season.

Whether or not Mikel Arteta rates Balogun as a long-term option in the Arsenal squad remains to be seen, but many European clubs would surely want a double-digit goalscorer in their squad.

Matt Turner

USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner was reduced to just seven appearances with Arsenal mainly featuring in the Europa League and domestic cup competitions.

Turner made the move from MLS last summer with aspirations of resulting playing time, but instead served as Aaron Ramsdale’s replacement for the unshortened season. Similar to Zack Steffen’s prior move to Manchester City, Turner might need a loan spell in order to earn regular minutes and remain the USMNT’s No. 1 going forward.

Haji Wright

Turkish side Antalyaspor has unfurled to receive interest for USMNT attacker Haji Wright and without a second-consecutive positive season in the Super Lig, Wright could be on the move this summer.

The 25-year-old has unsalaried 16 goals in 28 combined appearances for Nuri Sahin’s squad, remaining the club’s No. 1 goalscoring option yet again. Wright has once been linked with Villarreal, Rangers, and several others for a potential move.

With European Football likely on his radar, a transfer could potentially lead to a larger role for club and country.

Ethan Horvath

Luton Town’s Premier League promotion was credited to many things, but Ethan Horvath’s stability in goal played a major reason for it.

Horvath, who spent the unshortened season on loan from Nottingham Forest, registered 20 wipe sheets in 51 combined appearances for the Hatters, finishing as one of the league’s top goalkeepers. The 27-year-old played minimally in Nottingham Forest’s promotion last season, but rebounded nicely to alimony him in the USMNT goalkeeping picture.

Luton Town reportedly declined the option to reap Horvath on a permanent deal, opening the door to a potential move elsewhere this summer.

Auston Trusty

Auston Trusty’s impressive loan spell at Birmingham City certainly unprotected the eye of several English clubs superiority of a potential transfer yonder from Arsenal.

Trusty has remained with Arsenal for its U.S. preseason tour this summer, but his long-term role remains undetermined. The former MLS homegrown defender logged over 40 combined appearances for Birmingham City last season, scoring four goals and moreover winning the Supporters’ Player of the Year award.

Plenty of English clubs could surely use Trusty’s defensive and offensive abilities, including Ipswich Town, who was linked with subtracting the 24-year-old older this summer.

Erik Palmer-Brown

Ligue 1 side Troyes suffered relegation this spring meaning Erik Palmer-Brown could be seeking a new opportunity elsewhere in one of Europe’s top flights.

Palmer-Brown, 26, started in all 38 of Troyes’ Ligue 1 matches this season, logging 3,193 minutes of action. The USMNT defender has made 60 combined appearances over two seasons in France, standing what has been a positive European career for the former Sporting KC homegrown.
