Overview
- Agyemang is in Atlanta for friendlies against Belgium on Saturday and Portugal next Tuesday as Mauricio Pochettino evaluates options before the May 26 World Cup roster call.
- He has 10 goals and three assists in his first EFL Championship season for Derby County and has started 29 straight league matches while often going the full 90, aiding a promotion playoff push.
- US captain Tim Ream said Monday the Championship made Agyemang “grow up” and highlighted his regular 90-minute outings as evidence of mental and physical progress.
- The striker pool remains crowded with in‑form Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi, while Haji Wright’s groin injury has opened space in the competition for places.
- Agyemang followed an uncommon route from NCAA Division III to MLS and then Derby in 2025, and he credits the league’s physical, play‑on style and dense Saturday‑Tuesday rhythm for speeding his development.
