Seven editors chime in on the topic with responses ranging from Maurice Edu of Rangers, Oguchi Onyewu of Standard Liege and Jose Francisco Torres from Pachuca.
Check out the video below for the rest of the players nominated and the full explanations of why they are worthy of being labeled the most improved American Abroad.
