Profile
Pepi is the natural finisher whose road to this World Cup runs through heartbreak: left off the 2022 squad, he rebuilt himself in Europe and won the 2023-24 Eredivisie with PSV. The 2021 MLS Young Player of the Year with FC Dallas, he is a poacher with sharp movement in the box. His instincts give the U.S. a true No. 9 option.
Did You Know
He scored a hat-trick on his professional debut at age 16.
