MLS Club Targets Scottish Shot-Stopper

San Jose Earthquakes are reportedly close to finalizing a deal to bring Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn to Major League Soccer. The 28-year-old has been a key figure for his national team and could soon be heading across the Atlantic to join the California side.

What Gunn Brings to the Team

Angus Gunn has built a solid reputation as a reliable goalkeeper. He started his career at Manchester City before moving to clubs like Norwich City and Southampton. Here are a few highlights of his game:

• Strong shot-stopping and command of the penalty area
• Good distribution with both feet and hands
• Experience playing in high-pressure leagues including the English Premier League

That kind of skill set could make him a valuable addition to the Earthquakes’ defense.

Why This Move Makes Sense

San Jose has been looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the MLS season. Bringing in a goalkeeper with international experience would add depth and competition. Gunn has 11 caps for Scotland and played in the European Championship, showing he can perform on big stages.

For Gunn, a move to the U.S. would mean a fresh start and a chance to be a starter every week. The Earthquakes would get a proven player who could help shore up their backline.

What Comes Next for the Transfer

Negotiations are still underway, but reports suggest both sides are optimistic about reaching an agreement. If finalized, Gunn would become one of the more notable European goalkeepers to join MLS in recent years. Fans in San Jose will be watching closely for the official announcement.
