The winter transfer window was closed in Europe on Monday, but not before two others changed the hope of the Club World Cup to help enhance their chances of making the United States coach Mauricio Pochettino’s list for the next year championship at home.
Below are six Americans who have changed employers over the past 34 days, and how this may affect their chances of storming the plans of the United States coach.
LB CALEB WILY
to: Watford
From: Strasbourg (cross Chelsea))
Chelsea, who paid 10.5 million dollars to Laille last summer, called the 20 -year -old from France on the day of the deadline and immediately loan to the second English club Watford. Waliy will now compete in the same league as many most firm Americans, including Brenden Aronson from Leeds, Middlesbrough’s Aidan Morris, Norwich’s Josh Sargent and Coventry’s Haji Wright.
Before the appearance of Antonee Robinson from Fulham as one of their best left backs in the world, this position was for the national team of the American men usually fill it in a transformer midfielder or right -wing defender. There is still a scarcity of the natural left behind Gedi, to the extent that Pochittino did not care to summon a backup of Robinson the last time that the United States group has completely gathered.
Christopher Lund served as a country in most of 2024. John Tolkin’s share rises quickly. (More on Tolkin later). But do not sleep on Waili. After joining Tolkin in the American Olympic team for the year 2024, The Blues sent the former Atlanta United Produce team on loan to Strasbourg, where he made six games of the first division before a shoulder injury subsided in November.
If he established himself as a regular captain with Hornets, Waliy may gain a chance to test for Chelsea next summer or continue his development on loan with another team. It already has a capsule with the upper usmnt, the latest in January 2024.
M/F Taylor Both
To: twente
From: Utrecht
The other American who was moving on the day of the deadline was Bath, the 23 -year -old who has always scored a transfer from the third Dutch Eredivisie team to sixth place. Twente paid more than $ 2 million for a sheet, according to Voetbal International Port in the Netherlands.
You should play more now; The start of this season did not start after 44 games in the highest (seven goals) in the previous two years. Both came from senior two years in 2023.
M Luca de la Torre
to: San Diego FC
from: Celta Vigo
It seemed that the European Deer Tori’s profession was in an upward state after he made the World Cup for Americans in 2022. Although the San Diego citizen did not play in Qatar, he stormed the starting assortment in the Spanish club Celta in early 2023, and remained in Mostly for the season and a half, which makes 60 Lega appearance.
Things changed this season, when manager Claudio Gerols decided that the American was not in his plans. De La Torre scored only three minutes under Girulles this season before San Diego FC is loaned on January 21.
This step guarantees the time to play de no Tori. The midfield for the coach (and the last temporary USMnt president) Mickey Vargas will run behind striker Herfing “Choki” Luzano. If it is good, returning to Europe before the 2026 World Cup is possible – although it is not necessary: our coach Mauricio Pochettino has repeatedly said that the players in or those who return to MLS and Excel will have the same opportunities to make his strength like their counterparts abroad.
De La Tori is about to put this pledge to test, and his agreement contains an option for SDFC to make the deal permanent – something the player says is open to him.
“If I am happy here and this means I am playing my best football, I will stay,” said to Sandiego.futbol.
M Linard Maloni
To: Mainz
From: heidenhiem
Poittino has not called the defensive midfielder born in the camp, but this may change now after Maloney has moved from Pundesliga Struggle Heidenheim to the sixth Mainz.
In many ways, it appears to be the type of Pochittino. “Maluni was also strong in winning the challenges and the air.”
Certainly, there is a lot of competition in the middle of the stadium for the United States, Tyler Adams, Weston McKini and ionus Moussa, as a start, with de la Tori, Brenden Aronson, Gianluca Bosio, Johnny Kardoso, Esidan Morris, Jio Rina, Tanner Tesman. , Tilaman and others also in this mix. But none of these players have a Malmonian anger or a defensive bite-to win it in US capsules only under the leadership of coach Greg Bierleter in late 2023. “Berhleter said about Malone after that.
Borussia Dortmund can first time at his new club on Saturday against Augsburg.
“It is perfectly suitable for Mainz,” said Bnessert.
LB John Tolkin
to: Holstein Keel
from: New York Red Bulls.
Sands was not the only MLS player to join the Pundesliga team in January; Tolkin moved to Germany to a permanent transfer of $ 3 million – standard fees for the club for Holstein Keel.
The good news is that Tolkin, like Sands, was given minutes immediately; He started against Mightty Bayern Munich in a 3-2 loss on Saturday and created many good registration opportunities for his team, although he was beaten by Michael Oliz on Bayern’s goal.
The bad news is that Holstein Keel is going quickly to retreat to the second German section in the next season – erasing any feature that may have on Waili and Wind, who play with the Italian Palemo team in the league.
M James Sands
To: St. Pauli
from: New York City
His citizen New Yorker gained valuable experience in the Champions League with Scottish Rangers during a 14-month loan of the bathroom in 2022-23.
Sands returned to Europe on New Year’s Day. This time he is with German Darings on a six -month loan. He has already appeared in five games and the last three games began under the last manager Alexander Persen, who is clearly confident in the newcomer.
The 182 minutes that Sands played in January is more than Renina throughout the season with Dortmund, which is multi -use enough to drop a role in the middle than his usual place in the central midfield when asked – something that cannot hurt his chances to return to the national team this year for the first Once since the CONCACAF Cup 2023.
