To cap off what has been a hell of a summer for the kid, DeAndre Yedlin, US intenational and Seattle Sounders homegrown player, has been transferred to English Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of $3.5 million. He'll remain with the Sounders for the remainder of 2014 while they win the US Open Cup, MLS Cup, and MLS Supporters' Shield.
While I honestly don't really see how the deal makes sense for him, the league, or the USMNT, I'm very happy for him and hope he makes the most of it. There's a long history of young American players moving to Europe and for various reasons never making the most of their abilities.
I'm very seriously considering switching EPL allegiences because of this move, but I suppose I'll wait and see if he actually sees any playing time.
