USMNT in Europe Power Rankings: Every American's season rated as Christian Pulisic enjoys superb AC Milan campaign while Gio Reyna endures a year to forget

Palmer-Brown has been out since September with an injury, limiting him to just three league appearances for the Greek side. In general, the move hasn't been what anyone would have hoped due to that injury, which prevented the defender from seeing the field in the Europa League.

Just as Adams got healthy enough for his Bournemouth debut back in September, he suffered a setback that put him right back on the shelf. It was horrible luck for the midfielder, and for Bournemouth, who sure could have used him in the heart of their midfield for most of the season.

Adams did eventually come back, but he was never close to 100 percent, meaning his debut campaign was pretty much washed away.

A total nightmare. After coming back from injury, Dike was starting to find his feet again at West Brom. And then it happened again. Another year, another Achilles injury that will keep the striker out for an extended period of time.

It's horrible news for a really good player. For all of Dike's talents, he's lacking one key thing right now: a little bit of luck.

It was an awful season for Reyna. Playing time all but dried up at Borussia Dortmund and, for a while, it looked like his time at the club was done. Instead, Reyna made a loan move to Nottingham Forest in January, one designed to get him more playing time with an eye toward a Dortmund return.

It never happened. Reyna has been used even less by Forest than he was in Germany, as he almost exclusively made sporadic appearances off the bench. He could have gotten those at a better club in Dortmund, and one of the big storylines this summer will be Reyna's next move after a wasted 2023-24.

Turner left Arsenal last summer in search of a starting job, and he had one for a while at the City Ground. However, after some big blunders, that starting job is now gone.

Following Forest's signing of Matz Sels in January, the door is closed on Turner in terms of being the No.1. He'll remain the U.S.' starter this summer, despite having warmed the Forest bench leading up to the Copa America. But after the Copa? Who knows.

It wasn't easy for Aaronson during his loan spell to Vitesse, but he picked it up a bit towards the end. After scoring goals in late February and early March, Aaronson netted a brace against Fortuna Sittard on April 28, taking his total to four goals in just over 1,250 minutes for a team that suffered relegation from the Eredivisie.

He'll head back to Eintracht Frankfurt with a bit of confidence, so can he break through in the Bundesliga next season?

It's been a season of highs and lows for Balogun, who has had some good moments, but also some bad ones headlined by a run of missed penalties. With just seven league goals and five assists, Balogun took a step back in terms of production from his memorable year on loan Reims.

You could argue that had to do with adjusting to a new team at a higher level than he's been used to but, regardless, it was a difficult season.

It was a rough start to life in the Bundesliga for Aaronson, but it all got much better towards the end of his loan spell with Union Berlin. Having struggled through the first few months of the season, Aaronson scored his first goal for the club in February and another in March, which went a long way to helping Union avoid relegation from the Bundesliga.

He'll now head back to Leeds, at least for now. His loan to Germany didn't go as well as he would have hoped, so it will be interesting to see the standard of clubs who might be interested in him this summer.

Scoreless in the Eredivisie until the start of February, Booth suddenly scored five goals over two games against Volendam and Fortuna Sittard as he showed signs of the performances that led to him being linked with Manchester United last year.

However, an injury then ruled him out for the best part of two months, and though he came back for the final few weeks of the season, he wasn't able to replicate that short spell of form from the winter..

Some injury issues slowed him down but, when healthy, Pefok wasn't bad. He scored five Bundesliga goals and provided three assists this season, with two more goals in the cup. He was a semi-regular starter for Gladbach, who narrowly survived a relegation fight.

The USMNT striker competition is fierce and Pefok will need to score more goals next season if he wants to re-enter it.

Still just 22 years old, Reynolds is continuing to grow as a player in Belgium. His time at Roma never quite went to plan, but he got good minutes at Westerlo, where he was a regular starter throughout.

GOAL can confirm that clubs all over Europe are swirling now as Reynolds looks set for a step forward in his career.

One of the newer faces in the USMNT picture, Lund played his way into contention at Hacken, but spent this season with Palermo for his first season in Serie B. He was a regular for the Italian club, featuring in 35 games to help them earn a place in the promotion playoffs.

Horvath finally got away from Nottingham Forest, earning a January move to Cardiff City. While that was good news, it's hard not to be frustrated that it didn't come sooner, as Horvath essentially wasted the first half of the season.

Still, it's good that he's been playing, as Horvath became the immediate starter and played in 16 games for the Championship club after making the move, more than enough to keep him in the USMNT picture.

Ever-present for Genk, McKenzie played a huge role for the Belgian side this season. The defender scored a massive goal for the club in their Europa Conference League opener against Fiorentina, but they still crashed out in the group stages.

The club struggled a bit in the Jupiler League, finishing sixth in the regular season, but that was enough to get them into the Championship Playoffs, where they've locked up at least a European place for next season.

Trusty went from Arsenal to Birmingham to, now, Sheffield United, where he was a regular starter all season long in both a back four and a back three. It was a rough season for the Blades, though, who finished bottom of the Premier League to book their return to the Championship.

On a club level, there were more downs than ups, but, individually, this season was good for Trusty, who got a year of Premier League experience under his belt.

After a breakout campaign in 2022-23, Paredes' start to the season was slow. Wolfsburg seemed content to ease him in but, by the end, Paredes got the game time he needed.

In total, he played nearly 1,500 minutes, up from about 500 last year. He also tripled his goal tally from last season, scoring three times throughout the season. There's no rush with Paredes; it seems he's on the right path.

Pepi never cracked the PSV XI with Luuk de Jong on a tear all season long, but the American did do well enough in his limited minutes. He scored seven Eredivisie goals as Peter Bosz's side romped to the title, with two further goals in the Champions League.

The striker's future is somewhat uncertain, however, as he looks for more minutes next season.

Weah jumped right into Juve's starting XI after arriving from Lille over the summer, and looked totally comfortable in his new position at wing-back before handing the role back off to Weston McKennie for a few weeks.

Weah then was hit with an injury that kept him out of USMNT camp towards the end of 2023. Since returning, he's largely been a substitute with sporadic starts, though he did score a massive goal in the Coppa Italia semifinals en route to a trophy.

Overall, he played a bunch this season, which is great at a big club like Juventus, even if USMNT fans will hope to see him named to the XI a bit more next term.

An injury issue limited Ream a bit in the winter, and he never fully recovered. He made just 18 appearances for Fulham this season, as he never quite got back into the starting XI during the second half of the campaign.

He'll be back next season, though, having signed an extension already.

Teenage goalkeeper Slonina was loaned by Chelsea to Eupen to get some playing time, and he's certainly found that at the Belgian club. Touted as a true star of the future, he got his first taste of senior football away from MLS, as he was the club's starter all season long.

In total, he started 33 games, giving him much-needed experience in the European game, though he couldn't keep Eupen from suffering relegation.

Injury issues slowed Carter-Vickers in 2023-24, as the defender missed several key stretches of the season. When healthy, CCV is one of Celtic's most important players. The key is getting - and keeping - him healthy.

In total, he still played 29 matches across all competitions as Celtic ran away with another Premiership title.

De la Torre has been a regular starter for Celta Vigo this season, and has revealed a new nickname: 'The Aldi Frenkie de Jong'.

The midfielder was one of the brightest spots in the team as they fought against relegation. He scored three goals in quick succession in January and February, with two coming in the Copa del Rey. Overall, the key was keeping Celta in La Liga, so mission accomplished for De la Torre.

A consistent figure for Gladbach through much of the season, Scally made 31 Bundesliga appearances in total, providing a goal and four assists from the fullback position to make his USMNT case as he aims to earn a Copa America starting berth with Sergino Dest ruled out.

It's been a rollercoaster season for Palace, who moved on from manager Roy Hodgson midway through the campaign. The club then played its way out of the relegation fight under Oliver Glasner, and went on a superb run to end the season in the top half of the Premier League.

Richards was key both pre and post-Hodgson and featured in multiple positions throughout the campaign. He played nearly five-times the minutes he did last season, making this campaign a major success for the USMNT's centerback of the future.

The newest member of the USMNT, although he'll be frustrated to have been left off the pre-Copa America roster.

Maloney is a key figure at Heidenheim. The club was new to the Bundesliga this season and Maloney was a pivotal part of how they play, serving as the midfield destroyer. He's did a heck of a job too, playing his way into the USMNT squad while helping Heidenheim to a midtable finish.

Dest was everpresent for PSV this season, starting both on the left and the right throughout the club's incredible title win. The run of games has clearly been good for Dest's confidence, which was no doubt a bit shaken after tough spells with Barcelona and AC Milan.

The season ended on a very, very sour note, though, as Dest tore his ACL in the final weeks. With the Copa America gone and his future uncertain, Dest is once again at a crossroads. It's not the ending he deserved, particularly with how well he played before that big injury.

AC Milan took things slow and steady with him at points, but Musah has found his place in the team. He started Milan's crucial Champions League clashes with Dortmund, Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain in the group stages, showing just how important he could be to the team at just 20 years old.

As the season wore on, he was more of a rotation player in midfield, but that's fine. Musah still made 30 Serie A appearances this season, making his mark in what promised to be an adjustment year.

Tessman has featured in 38 matches for Venezia, scoring six goals while assisting three more so far in Serie B. Those goals have him in a good spot as he pushes for minutes with both the USMNT and the U.S. U23s, while inching Venezia even closer to promotion via the playoffs.

Former Sporting KC midfielder Busio has been fantastic for Venezia after being in and out of the XI last season. He's featured 38 times so far, taking a huge leap forward in Serie B.

He's scored seven times this season, too, with three of those goals coming in three consecutive games in January, while also adding four assists. Venezia are battling for promotion, and Busio is doing his best to help him get back to the top flight.

Wright really figured things out in the Championship this season. He contributed to 23 goals, scoring 16 of those on his own, while his stoppage-time winner in the FA Cup quarter-finals against Wolves will go down in Coventry folklore.

As a result, he's in the mix for the USMNT this summer, although it seems he'll be played more as a winger rather than as a central striker.

It's a small sample size, but, boy, did Cardoso not need much time to adjust to La Liga. He signed with Betis during the winter window and immediately became a regular with the team. He put in several Man-of-the-Match-winning performances inside his first few weeks, helping lift the club to a European place.

As we said, small sample size, but there's no doubt that the midfielder has boosted his stock massively in just a few short months.

The third member of the PSV trio, Tillman, like Dest, was on loan. PSV were quick to make that move permanent, though, showing just how good he was this season.

In the end, Tillman finished just short of double digits for both goals and assists, scoring nine while assisting 10 in the league. He drew some big penalties in the Champions League, too, outfoxing Sergio Ramos in the group stage before being taken down by Mats Hummels in the first leg of PSV's last-16 clash with Borussia Dortmund.

A huge season for Tillman, who took another big leap forward away from Bayern Munich.

From being on the verge of a summer exit to being one of his team's best players this season, maybe McKennie staying at Juve wasn't so bad after all?

The midfielder was particularly crucial during the final months of 2023 when he was always among the best players on the pitch. He, and Juve, slowed down a bit towards the end, but did do enough to bring a trophy hope in the form of the Coppa Italia.

Overall, this season was a fantastic return to form for the American lynchpin.

As always, a regular for Fulham this season, Robinson is as irreplaceable at club level as he is with the USMNT. He was named to the Premier League Team of the Season for the first half of the campaign, having earned his place with that group despite his self-deprecating clown meme.

There are few, if any, left-backs in England better than Robinson as the American continues to be extremely reliable for club and country.

Sargent started the season on a tear, scoring three times to open the Championship campaign. However, an ankle injury then sidelined him for several months. No worries, though; after his return, Sargent was unstoppable

He finished with 16 goals in just 28 league matches, including a run of eight in nine games. He averaged a goal just about every 120 minutes, which is a very, very good ratio for a striker.

Injuries have plagued him, even at the end of this season, but in this sort of form, it's only up from here for Sargent.

The move to AC Milan did wonders for Pulisic, and Pulisic did wonders for Milan. He is set to finish second on the team in goals with 12 in Serie A, while also finishing third on the team for assists with seven. Only Olivier Giroud contributed to more Milan goals this season, as Pulisic established himself as a legitimate star in red and black.

Overall, it was exactly the type of impact everyone hoped he'd make in Italy as Pulisic has put all of his Chelsea struggles way, way behind him.
