Across State Lines: Palmer-Brown Could be Headed to Germany

The 2019-2020 European season is right around the corner, players are signing with new teams and loans are starting to be finalized for others. One of those that’s waiting on a loan location is former Sporting Kansas City homegrown player, Erik Palmer-Brown. After spending the 2018-2019 season in the Netherlands, Palmer-Brown is set to go out on loan again in 2019-2020. One of the leading candidates appears to be newly promoted Bundesliga side, Union Berlin. He’s also gotten interest from Osasuna in Spain and Heerenveen in the Netherlands, but apparently Union are the favorites.

In other news, former Kansas City forward, Wolde Harris has taken charge of USL Championship side, the Colorado Springs Switchbacks. Harris was named interim head coach after the club fired head coach, Steve Trittschuh after the club’s 5-0 loss to the Austin Bold this past weekend. The Switchbacks are currently 17th in the Championship’s Western Conference with a 4-11-2 record.

Here’s the rest of this week’s update.
