Has Gio Reyna finally found club home? USMNT midfielder thriving at Strasbourg

Early on in his time at Strasbourg, Gio Reyna has managed to secure the consistent minutes he says he's been "desperate" to play in recent years.

Gio Reyna, the USMNT midfielder, appears to have found his ideal football home at Strasbourg. After struggling for playing time at Borussia Mönchengladbach, Reyna has since been making straight Ligue 1 starts, including his first goal for the club. His career at Borussia Dortmund was marred by injuries and poor coaching decisions, but Strasbourg seems to be the perfect platform for him to showcase his immense talent.

Reyna expressed his excitement about joining a club where he has earned the trust of his coach, Hugo Olivera, who considers him the heart of the team. Despite being the oldest player on the squad, Reyna plays the role of a leader and is looking forward to guiding the younger players. Reyna, once again faced with a team of younger talent, sees this as an opportunity to help them develop and enjoy their time with the team. The USMNT will begin the new season with a match against Peru on September 26.
