"Landon impressed me with his whole  approach to coming to England. This is someone who isn't prepared to rest on his laurels despite being considered America's best player. He knows that his past experiences in European football were perhaps a little disappointing for him. So he's joining us with a little something to prove and what's more he won't just be learning about life in the Premier League, he'll be learning about some of the players he'll be facing in the World Cup and that knowledge could be crucial to him in South Africa."
