Weston McKennie believes that if the circumstances are right, young Americans should take chances with European moves.

The 19-year-old from Little Elm, Texas, has already made 12 appearances for Bundesliga side Schalke and recently earned his first cap with the United States after turning down FC Dallas and making a move to Germany in 2016.

McKennie, along with Christian Pulisic, is a shining example of an American teenager breaking into a top club in Europe, and while the transition has been smoother for him than for others in the past, the midfielder believes more young players should try their luck in Europe.
