DALLAS — Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool are among a host of English Premier League (EPL) clubs tracking MLS hotshot Brek Shea, his agent told Sky Sports.
The FC Dallas attacker, who can play out wide or up front, is regarded as one of the league’s best young talents and is already an established member of Jurgen Klinsmann’s U.S. National team.
Scouts from Liverpool and Manchester City were believed to have watched Shea in action over the weekend as he created the only goal in the national team’s 1-0 win over Honduras.
Shea’s representative, Barry MacLean, said a number of teams were interested in the attacker and that the U.S. star could move to England in the future.
“I do know people are asking me about Brek as he is the premier talent in America,” MacLean said. “There is a real buzz around Brek as he is a real quality player. He has a contract with the MLS and FC Dallas for another three years so at this point it is premature to talk about a move.”
Asked if Shea would be interested in a transfer to the EPL, MacLean said, “It’s on his radar. He is a young player with high aspirations and every player wants to play at the highest level. I think England would be an interesting option for Brek, but we will wait and see what happens.”
