If this rumor would have started anywhere else I would be skeptical, but as it's been stated in this thread before, Twellman has been spot on with his USMNT player news. He broke Dempsey to Seattle, Bradley to Toronto, Donovan being cut. No one had even a sniff of any of those before he broke them.
This. Twellman reporting this means its good. He's had the biggest USMNT news of the last year nailed on way before anyone else.

I think it was me who broke Dempsey to MLS.

@mattpentz: Yedlin on the Tottenham report: “Nothing is really finalized yet. I’m waiting, letting my agency handle it. … It’s an honor.”

This been posted? Straight from the horses mouth, seems close.

Spursyanol (sp?) made a good point re: Yedlin vs. Fredericks. Both seem to have similar strengths and weaknesses at this time. Both had a similar route to their current position (starting off further up the pitch then moving back to RB) and both are basically the same physically (I think Yedlin looks a little more built in his frame) and age-wise.

Whoops. I've essentially just informed all Spurs fans on Twitter about the Yedlin quote, meaning there will be a lot more Spurs fans disappointed if it doesn't happen...

But Yedlin is one of the biggest stars in the MLS...

Yeah, he is. And I think that's the driving point of this transfer. We hear all the time about making our brand bigger in the US; the Friedel Ambassadorial Role, the US Tours, etc. So, bringing on Yedlin could realistically bring new fans to our team. Sounds like when we were in for Honda and a lot of us were saying how the Asian market/jersey sales would basically cover the cost of a transfer, etc.

I think this guy put it well in a humorous way:

FUN FACT: DeAndre Yedlin is an anagram of Shirt Sales.

This has come out of nowhere. If this and the Musacchio deal go through then Vertonghen might be the only member of last seasons defence that survives.

Interesting one, did impress me at the WC but that was mostly due to his crazy pace, which doesn't mean much. Still raw but as mentioned he is young and has potential, whilst also being a (potentially) valuable marketing commodity. If Levy can shift Naughton (say to Swansea) and get Yedlin in on the cheap it could be a masterstroke.
