Just noticed Laryea was basically on the bench all season despite being pretty much a WC lock starter... I didn't follow NF closely enough (obviously. Lol) but what's the guesses on his future? He's got to be late-20s, so it's not like they'd see him as a prospect. Looks like he came in for Colback a few times and Colback is pusheing 33, so maybe? Anyone with more insight? If he's not going to stay it's a good year for him to move at least.
FWIW, Mighten's Instagram has gone a bit quiet but his agency is "billing" him as an American on its "soccer" feed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CeJ_TP0Pp2g/
FYI, his agent on FB said he would be representing the USA moving forward. That is pretty obvious. Now he just needs to play and play well. He's not near the USMNT right now. He has talent but is extremely raw

I'm watching his game and he is a handful. He is not afraid to take on players 1v1. Because he is a little guy at 5'7 or 5'8, he gets fouled a lot. He is playing LW. Sub-off at minute 58.

Rumor of a loan to Belgium: Steve Cooper is a big admirer of Alex Mighten, but he may allow the 20-year-old to leave on loan this summer. Standard Liege have held talks over a potential loan move for Mighten, but nothing has been agreed as of yet. #NFFC @Ekremkonur pic.twitter.com/vbM0jMgzZM— Ethan Lamb (@ethanlamb01) August 8, 2022
Aaron Millman @AaronMillman_ 6h There were so many things that took place over the weekend but I wanted to give a special shoutout to Nottingham Forest winger Alex Mighten (20) on his Premier League debut. Mighten will be representing the United States once paperwork is completed. I reached out to Mighten's agency ICM Stellar Sports and it was confirmed that he will be representing the US.
I confirmed this earlier in the summer. He just needs to get an updated American passport to complete his paperwork. He’s not close to the full national team right now. He could be an Olympic option
