Last weekend, Bayer Leverkusen officially signed American attacking midfielder Malik Tillman. The 23-year-old enjoyed two robust seasons at PSV Eindhoven, scoring 24 goals with 15 assists in 68 appearances in all competitions. And he was stellar for the United States men's national team in the Gold Cup and friendlies over the summer, with three goals and three assists in eight appearances. A record signing for the German club, he will be an important member of a rebuilt Leverkusen attack.
Tillman also will have a prime opportunity to keep his national team stock high for the 2026 World Cup.
