It wasn’t certain if former Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino would stay on as USA manager after the World Cup, but he’s now locked in for another cycle, and is using these early stages to blood a lot of young players.
Teenager Cavan Sullivan stole the show this week with a goal from outside the box, but he wasn’t the only youngster making his debut. 18 year old New England Revolution left back Peyton Miller also got his first cap against Mexico.
Teenage star attracts Premier League attention already
Inevitably, a new talent emerging has meant plenty of transfer rumours. TeamTalk have linked Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea with interest in the teenager. Miller is “is viewed as a modern full-back with the athleticism and versatility to make an impact at both ends of the pitch.”
He made his debut as a 16 year old, and so has accumulated quite a lot of senior experience already. He signed a long term contract this summer, which his club hopes means that they can hold on to him for a little longer.
