Israeli-American midfielder Kenny Saief has been told to expect a call-up to the United States national team soon, according to a report in Israel.
A U.S. soccer spokesman confirmed to MLSsoccer.com on Thursday that the federation has scouted the Florida-born Saief, who has made five Champions League appearances for Belgium side KAA Gent this season.
Saief, 21, had previously featured for Israel's youth national teams.
He has scored four goals in 31 appearances since joining the Belgians from Israeli club Ramat HaSharon in the summer of 2014.
