It’s funny how hindsight works. During the summer, many USMNT supporters were left scratching their heads when DeAndre Yedlin permanently transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to recently relegated Newcastle United. The 23-year-old was coming off of a solid showing for Sunderland while on loan, he helped them avoid the same fate as their main rivals.
Most expected him to return to the Black Cats or find another Premier League team. But, he took a risk to drop a division and the risk has paid off big time as the transfer could possibly be one of the best American moves in recent memory.
