Villaphan04 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Apparently we are in for young American center half John Brooks A host of Premier League clubs are battling to land American starlet John Brooks, Sky Sports understands. The 21-year-old central defender was born and raised in Berlin and came through the youth tanks at his local club Hertha, before rejecting a move to Bayern Munich when he was a teenager. He made his debut for Hertha in 2012 and has since became an integral part of their first-team squad. Brooks represented both USA and Germany at youth level before deciding to commit his international future to America. Now he is set to feature at the World Cup finals and a number of Premier League clubs are poised to make a move. Sky Sports understands Aston Villa, Stoke City, Everton, West Ham and Newcastle are all ready to swoop for Brooks, who has three years left on his current deal at the Olympic Stadion. There is also interest from elsewhere in the Bundesliga and France, but Sky Sports understands that Brooks would like to continue his career in England. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11677/9346888/transfer-news-john-brooks-wanted-by-host-of-premier-league-clubs Edited June 15, 2014 by Villaphan04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Joking aside, I have actually watched a few matches he started for Hertha. He is very inconsistent. A couple matches the guy was just absolutely dominate. Every challenge he was winning and he was bossing players around, but then another match he'd get caught ball watching and look so timid. It's night and day with him but there is a player in there and a very good one potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
