Former Sounders and current U.S. national team defender DeAndre Yedlin is nearing a transfer to Newcastle United of the English second division from Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports.
Yedlin, who was spotted at the Newcastle airport on Tuesday, had a breakout season with Sunderland last season, helping the Black Cats avoid a relegation that once looked assured. The 23-year-old made 23 appearances with Sunderland, coming into his defensive own under then-coach Sam Allardyce.
