The 20 year old, who is a student at Berkeley in California, has been offered a professional contract having started pre-season training with Pal Dardai's squad after Hertha contacted his dad at the recent FIFA Under-20 World Cup where Klinsmann played every minute of the Stars and Stripes' run to the quarter-finals.

"It’s a big club, a Europa League participant, essentially a club that you’d like to play for and whose level you’d like to reach.
