ALEX FREEMAN ON TOTTENHAM’S RADAR 🇺🇸👀
Tottenham are reportedly tracking 22-year-old USMNT and Villarreal right back Alex Freeman as a potential long-term replacement for Pedro Porro.
Spurs have been particularly impressed by his progress in Spain, with Barcelona and Real Madrid reportedly interested in bringing Porro back to La Liga.
Tottenham aren’t the only ones watching:
▫️ Manchester United scouts have reportedly checked on Freeman in recent weeks.
▫️ City Football Group, Manchester City’s parent organization, has been monitoring his development.
▫️ BlueCo, the ownership group behind Chelsea, has also been keeping tabs.
Freeman’s form in Spain is getting noticed. What a talent 🇺🇸📈
[TEAMtalk]
Its about talent + marketability. You forgot Freddy Adu.
Something interesting is happening in American soccer, and I think we need to start asking some uncomfortable questions.
For years, there has been an effort to create “the face of American soccer.” First it was Landon Donovan, then Christian Pulisic, and now Cavan Sullivan.
But what do these players have in common? Who is the image being marketed to? Who is the target audience? And who benefits financially from that narrative?
Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy for Cavan Sullivan and his success. Every young player deserves recognition for their achievements.
But here’s my question: Why isn’t Julian Hall getting the same attention?
He’s only 18 years old, and he’s already scored three goals for the national team. So why aren’t we seeing the same excitement, media coverage, and recognition?
What determines who becomes the next big American soccer star? Is it purely talent and performance, or is it also about marketability, commercial interests and who fits the image that sponsors and investors want to sell?
Are we promoting the best talent, or are we promoting the talent that fits the most profitable narrative?
I'm critical of MLS sometimes, but if they continue developing talent like this, we'll watch more. More Cavan Sullivans, less Diego Lunas.
The international window may be over, but the @USMNT's newest stars play again this weekend 🇺🇸🌟
Can't pick just one match? Keep track of them all with MLS 360 starting tomorrow night at 7:30pm ET on Apple TV: soc.cr/4rZIdL9
He’s probably not going to make the Spanish or Portuguese teams we are his best option! Ronaldo Jr here we gooo
I’m concerned. He’s still going
