He's with Portsmouth in England. I don't know if he's with the reserves or the youth teams (U-19). At the moment he's Canada #1 with our U-20's and was team captain in some occasions. Last year he played 3-4 games in the Belgian league while on loan at LaLouviere and it didn't go well but in all fairness he was only 18 yrs old at that time.
He's a very talented GK. From what I've seen, him and Wagenaar are the best GK I've seen in our youth teams, and they are miles ahead of any MNT keepers on the technicals aspects of goalkeeping IMO. Begovic has a great keeper shape (6'5 and built) and should have a great future. Only weakness would be speed, he looks slow sometimes but he just finished growing so he should be able to gain speed quickly. He's pretty good in distribution, crosses and he's an excellent shot stopper.

I was wondering if anyone knows about Asmir situation with Portsmouth at the moment? Is he playing some games with the reserves or he's still training with the youth team? Thanks
