U.S. international forward Ulysses Llanez will spend the season with Heerenveen in the Netherlands after being sent out on loan by Wolfsburg.
The Dutch side confirmed the transaction on Tuesday, giving Llanez the opportunity to secure more experience and playing time that wasn't abundant in the Bundesliga. The 19-year-old forward, who has scored the U.S. men's national team's only goal of 2020 (the Americans have played one match due to the pandemic, a Feb. 1 friendly vs. Costa Rica), had broken through to make Wolfsburg's bench at the end of last season, but the loan is an indicator that the club sees his most likely path to regular playing time this season coming elsewhere.
