>Reyna had a majorly disappointing season for Monchengladbach, contributing one goal and one assist as they finished 12th.

>However, every American soccer fan knows Reyna has the talent to reach the highest level if everything falls into place.

>Strasbourg could be an ideal next step for the 23-year-old, who would be competing with Julio Enciso for the No. 10 position.

While Strasbourg are an excellent club in their own right, one advantage of joining them is their link to Chelsea.

>Given that they share owners, players are often traded between the two clubs, with the better ones heading to West London.

>Reyna may be thinking that a great season or two at Strasbourg could lead to moving to Chelsea, following in Christian Pulisic’s footsteps.
