Alejandro Bedoya may be on the move.
The 23-year-old midfielder, currently playing with Örebro in Sweden, is on trial with Birmingham City, according to multiple reports.
The time seems right.
Bedoya has done well in the Allsvenskan, and he’s probably ready to test himself against better competition.
But is a jump to the Premier League the right decision?
It’s a brutally physical league, and the competition for playing time will be fierce.
Still, if you read <a title="article" href="http:\/\/www.majorleaguesoccertalk.com/alejandro-bedoya-interview/11664" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS Talk’s interview with him recently,</a> you know he wants to play at the highest level.
“I see myself still playing soccer at a high level with a great club in a top league. God willing with hard work and dedication I can get to where I would like to be and where many people dream to play,” he said.
You can argue that his pace and skill is well suited for the EPL, or you could point out his relative inexperience on the game’s biggest stages.
But really, we won’t know unless he tries it.

Alejandro Bedoya Set for Trial With Birmingham

It’s hard to imagine a guy making more than £40,000 running out of money, but it’s happened to Brad Friedel.
The former U.S. International and Aston Villa keeper owes about £5 million, according to a English court.
Apparently, an academy he opened in Ohio a few years ago is the source of his financial woes, and he seems hopeful that he can get it sorted out soon.
“This is a technical bankruptcy and it is not anticipated that it will be in place for long as an application for an annulment will be submitted in the next few days,” a spokesman for Friedel said.
“Arrangements are in place to deal with the issues which gave rise to the bankruptcy.”
“I don’t make any money on it,” Friedel told The Birmingham Mail, adding that the academy was a non-profit venture.
There aren’t many more details than that, but here’s hoping that he gets everything worked out soon.
