With Jozy Altidore rumored to go to Hull and Eric Lichaj positioning himself for some first team action with Everton the number of young Americans poised to move to the Premier League continues with Everton rumored to sign 21-year old forward Cody Arnoux, formerly of Wake Forest. This is on the heals of the Everton signing of Ventura County Fusion midfielder Anton Peterlin. With the eye for talent of David Moyes these two signing speak well of the continued emerging talent of United States soccer. Moyes is known for recognizing talent and maximizing it so Arnoux will be in a good place. It's clear that the Premier League scouting umbrella has now reached the US College ranks. The case of Arnoux is similar to Eric Lichaj, who left North Carolina after one season.
It's hardly a trend at this point but it's nice to see more talent heading overseas early. It will bode well for the future of the Men's National Team. The question is whether it's good for MLS?
