<p><strong>There are over 50 American soccer players playing in various leagues and teams in Europe.</strong> A <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/us-soccer-americans-abroad-2020-milestones-and-youth-movement-20200819-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">youth movement</a> and blockbuster moves like Pulisic to Chelsea, McKennie to Juventus, and Dest to Barcelona has <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/usmnt-road-to-qatar-2022-everything-you-need-to-know-20200916-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> fans thinking this is the best player pool ever.</p>
<p>It’s hard not to argue that the U.S. has talent in every position, and this will make <strong>Gregg Berhalter’s job a bit easier knowing his top talents are playing meaningful minutes in these competitive leagues.</strong> Players like Duane Holmes and Julian Green may be in the second divisions, but can also be used as good role players when called upon.</p>
<p>Fielding a starting 11 is always hard, especially when you have options in each position. Some players will be left out, but <strong>there are 11 key players in Europe the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/Top-25-US-mens-national-soccer-team-prospects-for-Qatar-2022-20200601-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USMNT</a> hope continueto develop</strong> and lead the team back to the 2022 World Cup.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>While Zack Steffen is not starting at Manchester City, he has already played in a cup game and<strong> the day in and day out training for a top club make it hard to argue there is another goalkeeper ahead of him</strong> in the pool.</p>

<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="John Brooks – Wolfsburg" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="John Brooks – Wolfsburg" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200930_BUS_164687_john_brooks_crop1601484576299.jpg_21146372_c368d2a8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=411" width="740" height="411"></figure><figcaption>   John Brooks at Wolfsburg.

<p></p></div>
<p>Brooks has been in the Bundesliga since the start of his career, the 2014 World Cup hero is entering the prime of his career. <strong>He has been a bit inconsistent when playing for the U.S. buthis performances in league play have been very good.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Chris Richards has yet to claim a place in the Bayern first team, but coach Hans-Dieter Flick has praised him and has inserted him in some games. <strong>If he can continue to develop, he will challenge for a starting spot.</strong></p>

Dest has shown his talent and is considered one of world soccer’s best young prospects.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Tim Weah – Lille</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Tim Weah" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Tim Weah" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200930_BUS_164687_tim_weah_crop1601485261870.jpg_21146372_10d915aa.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=411" width="740" height="411"></figure><figcaption>   The son of George Weah, Tim Weah plays for Lille in France.

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>The multipurpose midfielder is coming back from injury</strong> and has shown flashes of what he can do at Celtic and PSG. He will need to stay healthy, but Weah has the energy and talent to be a key figure for the USMNT.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Weston McKennie – Juventus</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Weston McKennie – Juventus" data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Weston McKennie – Juventus" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200930_BUS_164687_weston_crop1601485332934.jpg_21146372_125657b2.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=411" width="740" height="411"></figure><figcaption>   Weston McKennie chatting it up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus.

<h2>Midfielder – Tyler Adams – R. B. Leipzig</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Tyler Adams - R. B.

B. Leipzig. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Adams is one of the U.S. most consistent European based players</strong>, he has grown in each season since his move to Germany. The key is for Adams is to avoid injury, despite some amazing performances his seasons are cut short due to injury.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Christian Pulisic – Chelsea</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Christian Pulisic – Chelsea" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Christian Pulisic – Chelsea" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200930_BUS_164687_pulisic_crop1601485545613.jpg_166139169_f83945e4.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=463" width="740" height="463"></figure><figcaption>   Christian Pulisic is the USMNT biggest star. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The new Landon Donovan, the man who everyone will look too to lead the squad. <strong>Pulisic is yet to debut this season, but<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/how-christian-pulisic-began-to-prove-his-worth-at-chelsea-20200805-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">last year he was the best player for Chelsea</a></strong>, that can’t be argued. He completely dominated in a game against Liverpool and scored some amazing goals. The hopes of the USMNT rest on Pulisic.</p>
<h2>Midfielder – Gio Reyna – Borussia Dortmund</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Gio Reyna - Borussia Dortmund" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Gio Reyna - Borussia Dortmund" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200930_BUS_164687_gio_reyna_crop1601485707936.jpg_166139169_8ff496cf.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=463" width="740" height="463"></figure><figcaption>   Gio Reyna playing for Borussia Dortmund. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Like his father before him, <strong>Reyna looks set to be the new USMNT set up man.</strong> His quick passing and field vision will look to open up spaces for speedsters Pulisic and Weah. Reyna started his season strong as he looks to break out for Dortmund.</p>
<h2>Forward – Josh Sargent – Werder Bremen</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Josh Sargent - Werder Bremen" data-height="463" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:463" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Josh Sargent - Werder Bremen" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20200930_BUS_164687_sargent_crop1601485800524.jpg_166139169_6c39038a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=463" width="740" height="463"></figure><figcaption>   Josh Sargent at Werder Bremen. (Getty)  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The USMNT weakest position by far is forward. Sargent is young, but he plays on a dreadful Bremen side. With little options besides Sargent, the U.S. will hope that he finally starts scoring for his club. <strong>At the national team level, Sargent does have 5 goals in 12 games.</strong></p>
