STRASBOURG – United States midfielder Gio Reyna is getting a fresh start at French club Strasbourg to reset after an underachieving season in Germany.
Strasbourg said Tuesday it signed the 23-year-old Reyna on a five-year deal from Borussia Mönchengladbach . The transfer fee was reported to be 3 million euros ($3.5 million).
Reyna played in all five U.S. games at the World Cup , and scored a signature goal to cap the opening 4-1 win against Paraguay.
He had a quiet debut season with Gladbach, scoring just once in 20 games, after several seasons at Borussia Dortmund.
Strasbourg, which is in a shared ownership group with Chelsea, placed eighth in Ligue 1 last season and did not qualify for any European competition.
Reyna will play for new coach Hugo Oliveira, a long-time former assistant to Marco Silva who left Fulham to join Benfica.
