“The facilities are the best in Europe, if not the world. It’s a great team. I’m very excited.
“I’ve talked to Jurgen Klinsmann a lot about this move and he supports it, which was one of the big reasons behind the decision.”
Yedlin appeared in three of USA’s four World Cup matches, coming on as a substitute in each game, and impressing in particular against Belgium, after he replaced the injured Fabian Johnson in the 32nd minute.
