In the US vs. Guatemala game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, young Jozy Altidore caught my eye. It wasn’t that one phase of his game was overly dominant, he just seemed to do everything well and be in the right place at the right time.
Apparently the Toffees have taken interest as well, though Villareal has rejected Everton’s loan offer. This isn’t the first EPL interest in Altidore, there were rumors of English Premier League clubs being interested before the Red Bulls accepted a transfer to Villareal. It will be interesting in the years to come to see if Altidore could become an American with a real impact in European football.
