AS GNN Overview

USMNT strikers Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi have become the subject of Premier League transfer predictions, with Brad Friedel telling GOAL that both could end up in the English top-flight. It is suggested that the former may link up with one of the “big boys”, while the latter would benefit from using “mid to lower teams” as another career stepping stone.

Sergino Dest, the USMNT's presumptive starter at right back in the 2026 World Cup, returned from a hamstring injury Saturday afternoon, playing 30 minutes against Ajax in a 2-2 draw. The defender has been out since March 7 after limping off during PSV's 2-1 win over AZ Alkmaar. It was a good day for PSV's American unit, as Ricardo Pepi got on the scoresheet.
