Reyna has completed an exciting loan move to Nottingham Forest until the end of the season.

USMNT midfielder Giovanni Reyna has become an enticing option for Fantasy Premier League managers with a bargain price tag of £5m. This valuation places him in the same range as some of his new team-mates, such as winger Anthony Elanga priced at £5.1m and Morgan Gibbs-White at £5.7m, who have amassed 77 and 68 points respectively.

Reyna’s £5m price makes him the most expensive American player in the game, narrowly surpassing Bournemouth’s Tyler Adams, valued at £4.9m but yet to feature this season.

The remaining USMNT players available in Fantasy Premier League predominantly consist of goalkeepers and defenders, typically priced lower than midfielders and forwards.

This season’s fantasy standouts, Mohamed Salah of Liverpool and Son Heung-min of Tottenham, have amassed impressive point totals of 156 and 136 respectively. While Salah is expected to return to action with Liverpool after Egypt’s exit from the African Cup of Nations, Son continues to represent South Korea in the Asian Cup.

Fantasy Premier League managers have until 11am UK time on Saturday to consider adding Reyna to their squads ahead of his potential debut against Bournemouth on Sunday.
