Rising American winger Mathis Albert was the subject of loan interest during the summer transfer window, sources tell GOAL, but Borussia Dortmund opted to keep hold of the teenage starlet due to their plans for him with the first team. Albert made his professional debut for Dortmund last season and started for the club on Tuesday in the DFB-Pokal.
GOAL sat down with the American star to discuss his roles with club and country, being a mentor to Zavier Gozo, and why the last few years have helped him believe more is possible.
Everton have reportedly agreed to a deal to sign U.S. men's national team star Folarin Balogun from Ligue 1 side Monaco. The American striker, who was one of the breakout stars of this summer's World Cup, will return to the Premier League to join the Toffees, who will pay a fee of around $54 million (£40m/€46.7m) to acquire his services.
The former Real Salt Lake teenager got his first taste of Prem action, while Musah impressed in Milan’s midfield and Cardoso’s lack of minutes at Atletico Madrid raised fresh questions.
