Taylor Booth has been a regular in the U.S Youth teams primarily playing as a holding midfielder since the age of thirteen. He was also part of the U.S squad in the U-17 FIFA World Cup held in India in 2017, making two appearances and is currently part of the U.S under-19s squad.
Tottenham are reportedly plotting a double swoop, by signing Booth alongside his 16-year-old younger brother Zach Booth, who is in the MLS with Real Salt Lake. Zach has garnered the interest of club in Europe with his performances for the U.S U17s in games against England & Spain.
The general manager at Real Salt Lake, Craig Waibel had praised Taylor’s skillset after his performances in the U-17 World Cup, “Taylor certainly has the capability to play multiple positions, right now, I’d classify him as a central player. You can plug him into multiple roles—as a box-to-box, a holding mid or even as an attacking mid. Good movement off the ball, smart technical ability on the ball and his passing ability is high level. We think he’s got the potential to continue that development in the center channel.”
