Gregg Berhalter is at it again! USMNT boss to poach ex-Chelsea youngster Declan Frith from England as winger looks to follow in footsteps of Yunus Musah and Folarin Balogun

Per <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/usa-declan-frith-england-chelsea-fc-aston-villa-b1124405.html?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1701559425" target="_blank">The Evening Standard</a>, the 21-year-old is applying for a USA passport to play through his grandmother's lineage. Berhalter and co. have been tracking the youngster since 2021, recently being impressed by his 12-goal season from a wide role, where he also notched eight assists in his final season for Aston Villa. He joined Valencia this past summer, with two goals and one assist in his first two matches for the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The report adds that there is an expectation that Frith is brought into the Valencia first-team in the coming months. He has played three matches for their 'B' team in the third division, and a promotion could be on the horizon. The expectation from the USMNT is that Frith would initially be incorporated into their U-23s, and with the Olympics on the horizon, he could be a shout for a possible roster spot.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Both Yunus Musah and Folarin Balogun both had England eligibility, but instead, opted to represent the USMNT.

DID YOU KNOW?

Valencia B next take the pitch against Alzira on Saturday, with Firth in contention to play. Meanwhile, the USMNT are not back in action until January 20 - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/christian-pulisic-usmnt-slovenia-2024/blt4ac42324b4594f2a" target="_blank">when they take on Slovenia in an international friendly.</a>
