Brad Friedel highlights three US wonderkids that can star in Premier League in future
Mauricio Pochettino's USMNT squad are gearing up to face Haiti over two legs in the Concacaf Nations League quarter-final, with the recent World Cup hosts expected to get the better of their opponents. Pochettino has a host of Premier League stars at his disposal, including the likes of Tyler Adams, Chris Richards and Antonee Robinson but also can now rely on his youngsters to shine on the biggest stage.
This includes US wonderkid Cavan Sullivan, who is Man City-bound with an agreement in place to move from Philadelphia Union when he turns 18. And Friedel believes there are two other US stars that can enjoy a career in the Premier League alongside him.
Speaking to Gambulls, the ex-goalkeeper said: "Well, I think Cavan Sullivan, depending on what happens with Man City, I mean, I believe he could be one. I think Julian Hall is someone to keep an eye on over there.
I think Chris Brady is someone to keep an eye on, a goalkeeper at Chicago Fire. I think some of the other younger players, it would probably be a little bit better if they went into Germany or a Championship club and sort of earned the right to get up in the Premier League because I think the step up into the Premier League might be a little too much.
But I like what I see of Pierre at Philadelphia Union, but I think that might be too much of a step for him right away. But I would say I would like to see Hall, Sullivan, and Brady in the Premier League.
Hall is in the USMNT squad to face Haiti alongside Sullivan during the international break, while Brady has missed out on this occasion."
