Chris Coleman has not let his interest in American international Oguchi ‘Gooch’ Onyewu. The defender has been to the Cottage and had a look around the clubs training facilities in Raynes Park.

The problem appears to be the players current club’s valuation of the player, it is believed that Belgian club Standard Liege are holding out for a fee of around £1M. Gooch will be a welcome addition for Coleman who would appreciate having more defensive cover. Along with the imminent arrival of Clint Dempsey it appears that there is an every growing colony of Americans in South West London.
