Barcelona loanee Diego Kochen impressed in his USMNT debuts against Peru and Mexico, proving he could be Mauricio Pochettino's long-term answer in goal.
Charles Erb argues that 20-year-old Barcelona loanee Diego Kochen could emerge as the new primary goalkeeper for the United States. Kochen impressed during recent international fixtures under manager Mauricio Pochettino, keeping clean sheets across 45 minutes against Peru in a 4-1 win and during a complete 90-minute display in a 3-0 victory against Mexico.
Currently on loan at Danish Superliga side Lyngby Boldklub, Kochen has started nine matches. The deal reportedly features a €1.5 million purchase option with Barcelona retaining a 40% sell-on clause. Erb highlights that Kochen stands out among competitors Matt Freese, Chris Brady, and Brian Schwake in the national team pool.
