Liverpool, Roma target Yedlin focused on Seattle

Yedlin was a standout performer off the bench for the United States at the FIFA World Cup, as Jurgen Klinsmann's men reached the last 16.

The 20-year-old's performances in Brazil have not gone unnoticed, with European giants Roma and Liverpool reportedly interested.

Despite uncertainty surrounding his future, Yedlin insisted he was firmly focused on Seattle's MLS campaign.

"I'm letting my representatives take care of that," Yedlin told reporters on Monday.

"Right now I'm just focusing on Seattle and hopefully winning the MLS cup."

Yedlin added: "MLS is such a growing league. It's becoming one of the top leagues in the world."

"Why does Pau Gasol play in the NBA? Why does [Manu] Ginobili play in the NBA? Because the league's better than the leagues in their home countries," he said.

"And there's going to be certain players where it's the right thing to do to go overseas."
