Former USMNT goalkeeper Brad Friedel represented Liverpool during his playing career and remains the only American to have played for the Reds in a competitive match.With the transfer window in full swing, Friedel has named some of the current USMNT players who may be of interest to new head coach Andoni Iraola this summer.

So far, Liverpool has made just two additions, with defender Jeremy Jacquet finally completing his move from Rennes and World Cup winner Victor Munoz joining from Osasuna.The biggest name Friedel believes is ready for a club of Liverpool's size and stature is left back Antonee Robinson.

However, a slightly more intriguing option could be Villarreal's Alex Freeman, who, at 21, is yet to truly establish himself at the highest level.Friedel added: "(Alex) Freeman; he's at Villarreal, but again, that's another step.
