Dest is among a growing contingent of United States internationals who are impressing on the European stage. Christian Pulisic is thriving at AC Milan, West McKennie is getting good get time at Juventus, and Tillman and Dest are playing a big role in PSV maintaining a 100% winning record in the Dutch top-flight. They and the many others playing across the continent can only help with the growth of the game in America – and that can have a positive knock-on effect with the national team.
