Booth, who is just 22-years-old, could be the next breakout American in the Dutch Eredivisie this season. The PSV trio of Malik Tillman, Sergino Dest and Ricardo Pepi have stole the headlines of late, but now, Booth appears to be fighting for the limelight too.

His performances at the club level are surely catching the eyes of Gregg Berhalter and his staff, too, with the USMNT on the verge of three major tournaments this calendar year. Up first is the Concacaf Nations League in March, which will be followed by this summer's Copa America and the Paris Olympic Games.

For Booth, the most likely should would be this summer's Olympic Games, especially with the roster rules being U-23. Head coach Marko Mitrovic could look to include him on his March roster for a U-23 clash against Thierry Henry's France in a warmup match for the Paris Games.
