Let’s go on a journey. Lots of soccer was played last week, and the video clips have been gathered. Let’s run through them to see what developments there have been in the USMNT player pool:
Friday
Italian-Canadian-American winger Luca Koleosho recently joined Burnley from Espanyol in La Liga. Koleosho got the start against Man City and had some bright moments against one of the best teams in the world. He was subbed off at 61’.
Koleosho is provisionally tied to Italy. He cannot play for US youth teams, and would have to file a one-time switch before playing for the USMNT.

Ricardo Pepi subbed on at 83’ in the same game for the opposite side. He was lively, especially in the press. He’ll have work to do to unseat current PSV starting #9 Luuk de Jong.

Monday
Christ Richards path to playing time seems blocked at Crystal Palace. He was relegated to playing with their reserves this week. Not ideal for the young defender who excelled at Concacaf Nations League this summer.
Chris Richards got a run in Palace’s u21s today. Not his best performance, had good & not so good moments throughout the match. Here, he gets booked for a slide tackle #USMNT pic.twitter.com/ILV9hJD0Hq
