In the span of just a few months, PSV became one of the first clubs on the list of anyone monitoring Americans Abroad.
Three players who figure to play a key role over the next decade for the U.S. men’s national team — Sergiño Dest, Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi — all joined the Dutch giants over the summer.
The transformation of PSV into a hub for Americans is largely due to Earnie Stewart, the former sporting director of U.S. Soccer who now holds the same position with PSV.
The season is still young, but there are some promising signs coming out of Eindhoven for all three USMNT players.
Dest looks to be the player who’s immediately benefitted the most, but Tillman and Pepi can also be encouraged by their first month at the club.
Let’s kick off this week’s Five with a look at PSV’s American trio.
