The European season is in its final few weeks meaning that some American players could very well be on the move this summer.
Matt Turner and Jonathan Tomkinson are just two players that are set to become free agents in the coming weeks. Turner, who has served as Crystal Palace’s No. 2 goalkeeper, has barely played this season, opening the door for a potential exit from Selhurst Park.
Tomkinson, who will depart Norwich City, could very well be on the move to Ross County, where he has played on loan since January.
Donovan Pines, Lynden Gooch, and Matt Olosunde round out the remaining Americans Abroad players that are also set to see their contracts expire.
Here is a closer look at each of the five players:
Matt Turner, Crystal Palace
If Matt Turner wants to be the U.S. men’s national team’s starting goalkeeper in 2026, then he desperately needs to play at club level.
Turner has been reduced to only four appearances at Crystal Palace, featuring in the FA Cup and EFL Cup. The 30-year-old has remained behind Dean Henderson in Oliver Glasner’s squad, pondering what’s next for his career.
There has been no news on whether or not Palace will extend Turner’s stay in South London, but for his sake, a move needs to happen.
Lynden Gooch, Stoke City
Fresh off of his second season at Stoke City, 29-year-old Lynden Gooch is set to hit the market.
Gooch made 23 appearances across all competitions for the Potters, registering two assists and playing 1,149 minutes. The veteran fullback/wingback brings over 350 career appearances to the table, something that many English second-tier clubs would welcome.
Stoke City fought off relegation from the EFL Championship, but might not be as lucky in 2025-26.
Matt Olosunde, The New Saints
Matthew Olosunde’s time at in Wales has been frustrating to say the least.
The 27-year-old fullback made just one appearance for The New Saints this season, before an unknown injury forced him to miss ample time. A former Manchester United youth player, Olosunde has struggled for playing time overall since leaving Rotherham United.
It will be curious to see where Olosunde ends up next, but he certainly will want to get his career back on track regardless of where he goes.
Donovan Pines, Barnsley
27-year-old Donovan Pines looks set for a new challenge.
Pines’ contract at EFL League One side Barnsley is set to expire at month’s end, opening the door for the veteran defender to look elsewhere. The former DC United defender scored three goals in 27 appearances this season, but hasn’t featured since March 22.
Could Pines stay in England? It’s possible. However, his best move might be to return to MLS.
Jonathan Tomkinson, Norwich City
Jonathan Tomkinson is already prepared to walk from Norwich City this summer, but the question remains; where will he go next?
Tomkinson spent the second half of the Scottish Premiership season on loan at Ross County, quickly playing a key role in the squad. The 23-year-old made nine appearances for Norwich City’s Under-23 squad before making 11 appearances for Ross County in the Scottish top-flight.
Sources have indicated to SBI that Ross County is interested on signing Tomkinson permanently this summer, which could be his best option to play regularly.
Whether or not Ross County avoids the drop in the SPFL could dictate that move.
