USMNT star on the move! Malik Tillman to join PSV from Bayern Munich and unite with Ricardo Pepi at Eredivisie giants

• PSV to sign Tillman on loan
• May include option or obligation to buy
• Had successful season with Rangers

WHAT HAPPENED? As per SPORT1, the USMNT midfielder will join PSV on loan as a replacement for Xavi Simons in midfield, who left the Dutch team for Paris Saint-Germain before being loaned RB Leipzig earlier this summer. The clubs will soon reach an agreement as to the nature of the deal. As per the report, the only decision yet to be confirmed is whether there will be an option or obligation to buy at the end of the season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The 21-year-old impressed last season on loan with Rangers in the Scottish Premiership, racking up 43 games in which he scored 12 goals and had five assists. However, as the competition is high within the first team of the Bavarians they would prefer sending the midfielder out on another loan.
