The USMNT has had a lot of great players coming into Europe for the past few seasons. Even the team’s captain, Christian Pulisic, got his big-money move to Chelsea FC. However, two more USMNT stars will be joining the likes of Christian Pulisic, Josh Sargent, and Zack Steffen.
English Championship club Fulham FC secured promotion to the Premier League after a fantastic campaign. As a result, USMNT duo Antonee Robinson and Tim Ream are slated to join the English top-flight next season if they continue to stay with Fulham.
Both Robinson and Ream are defenders and at contrasting stages of their footballing careers. Ream is a 34-year-old veteran of the game and already has 46 caps for the USMNT under his name. On the other hand, Antonee Robinson is a 24-year-old left-back who has a lot of time left at the club.

Antonee Robinson and Tim Ream: Fulham’s defensive duo
Robinson has spent his entire life in England, coming through from Everton’s academy. He has already played 25 games for his nation and has scored 2 goals. Meanwhile, his time at Fulham has been remarkable as the 24-year-old has managed to play 61 games for the club since 2020.
Neither Robinson nor Ream will be making their Premier League debut, as the duo have both previously played in the league during Fulham’s 2020/21 campaign. Moreover, Ream had also played for Bolton Wanderers in the 2011-12 season, managing to lodge 13 Premier League appearances under his belt.
The 34-year-old doesn’t have a lot of time left at the top and would try to cement his place in the USMNT squad for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

The other USMNT stars in the Premier League
While two new USMNT internationals might be joining the league, two more might be on the verge of leaving. Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic has been linked with a loan move away from the club to find his form. However, this move seems highly unlikely as manager Thomas Tuchel would like to keep him at the cup.

The same cannot be said for Zack Steffen, who might look for a loan move in the summer. The Manchester City shot-stopper has struggled for game-time under Pep Guardiola and might need to leave to cement his place in the World Cup squad.
