• Tillman extends with Bayern
• Joins PSV on loan
• PSV target Miles Robinson

WHAT HAPPENED?The USMNT midfielder will go on loan to PSV as a potential replacement for Xavi Simons, who left to return to Paris Saint-Germain and was then loaned to RB Leipzig this summer. Tillman, 21, had also been linked with a loan move to Premier League newcomers Sheffield United and Scottish giants, Rangers, where he spent last season.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: PSV are also after Tillman's compatriot, Miles Robinson, Eindhovens Dagblad says. The Atlanta United defender has been rumoured to be on his way to Europe through the summer after a year of strong showings in MLS. His contract with Atlanta runs until the end of the calendar year, therefore, the club will have to pay a small fee to acquire the defender.
