19 year old Kaan Inanoglu bagged a hat-trick yesterday for Frankfurt’s reserves. Continues to be arguably the most productive US-eligible striker in the U20 pool.

Now a top 5 scorer in the Regionalliga Südwest with 12 goals 🔥

If Kaan agrees to represent the USA, he would be a great addition to the USYNT ahead of the U-20 World Cup https://t.co/cCtjAElinP

Landon Emenalo is in first team training with Chelsea

🇺🇸👀 | Landon Emenalo is in first team training with Chelsea.

Emenalo has taken a step up in the second half of the season and has started in six out of eight matches for the Chelsea U21s since January 24th, interestingly being used mostly as a center-back.

It's clear that… https://t.co/dhz859aQBO

Will Ostrander

From the USA to Eindhoven 🔴⚪️
Welkom in Eindhoven, Will! 🤝#CreatingStarsTogether️

— PSV (@PSV) May 15, 2025

🇺🇸🚨 | Will Ostrander, 2009-born midfielder, officially moves from the San Jose Earthquakes Academy to PSV Eindhoven!

Ostrander has a Maltese passport and has featured for the US U16s and U15s.

With this addition PSV now has 7 American-eligible players in the club!#usmnt https://t.co/KDQMdt4ige

— USMNT Report 🇺🇸🇹🇷 (@USMNTReport) May 15, 2025

My advice to all players with the ability to go to a top European academy at 16 is if you are mentally ready, go.

Places like PSV are a much more proven environment for developing top players.

Congrats to Will. https://t.co/CahZtvj316

USYNT winger Will Ostrander (‘09) 🇺🇸🇲🇹 is joining PSV U17 from the San Jose Earthquakes! Excellent move in every aspect, SJE has notoriously been a bad place for prospects in recent years and PSV’s academy is really good at getting the most out of young talent. Congrats Will! https://t.co/uxyFoLSiGF

Jack Mize linked to Kaiserslautern

USA U17 midfielder Jack Mize (‘08), who is confirmed to be leaving Dortmund, is being linked to 2. Bundesliga club Kaiserslautern. They have produced players like Kevin Trapp, Willi Orban, and Robin Koch. https://t.co/6vy2kT387w

Grayson Dettoni

It’s fair to say this loan has been an absolute disaster for Grayson Dettoni. Zero first team appearances, only made the squad three times. He was on such a high in January when he made his Bayern debut and got the USA U20 call up, this hurt his stock a lot. https://t.co/ycbkVDmasg

Hoffenheimamerica is back

I am hearing that Lukas Bruegmann (09’) will be heading to TSG Hoffenheim. He has been a key member for both the USA U16s and Dynamo Dos. Has a European passport, which allows him to move at 16 compared to 18. Trialed with Hoffenheim earlier in the year, along with Dortmund. pic.twitter.com/lLcT6h6N3i
