Erik Palmer-Brown's impending departure from Sporting Kansas City didn't come as a huge surprise to many people, with the US youth international center back in the final year of his contract and a successful U20 World Cup, but it does leave some questions. After signing for the club when he was only 16, Palmer-Brown is set to depart for Europe, with Manchester City (and then a loan) being the landing spot. Palmer-Brown has appeared in 16 league games for Sporting over his career so far, 10 of them starts. Six of those appearances and four of those starts have come in 2017 when he's replaced Ike Opara or Matt Besler after beating Kevin Ellis out for the third center back spot.
Erik Palmer-Brown is set to depart KC, did Sporting handle his situation the best way?
