Patrick Agyemang will reportedly be the next American talent to make his move abroad.
EFL Championship side Derby County is nearing a deal to acquire Agyemang from Charlotte FC, multiple reports stated Friday. The deal is not done yet, but Derby is set to pay roughly $7 million to the MLS club for the striker’s services.
The 24-year-old forward has previously been on the radar of several English second-division clubs over the past year. He’s been one of Charlotte FC’s best attacking threats over his three MLS seasons, totaling 17 goals and four assists in 59 league appearances.
Agyemang is currently with the U.S. men’s national team at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, where he’s scored twice in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad. The Connecticut native has helped the Americans reach the quarterfinal round, where they will face Costa Rica on Sunday night.
Agyemang’s arrival in the English second-tier would make him the sixth American player there for the upcoming campaign. Josh Sargent, Daryl Dike, Aidan Morris, and Haji Wright are among the USMNT contingent currently in that division.
Derby County avoided relegation back to EFL League One last season, finishing outside of the relegation zone by one point. John Eustace’s Rams will open the 2025-26 Championship season at Stoke City on August 9.
