After a season in which he led the Swiss top flight in scoring, Jordan Pefok is heading to the Bundesliga—and with it is adding a new layer to seemingly never-ending hunt to anoint a starting striker for the U.S. men’s national team.
With the World Cup mere months in the distance, the U.S. still has a few pressing roster questions, and the lack of clarity surrounding the identity of its center forwards remains at the top of that list. Pefok, 26, scored 22 league goals for Young Boys, with five goals in his last five games to end the season.
