George John On Blackburn Rumors: ‘It’s a Tremendous Honor’ - Big D Soccer
George John confirmed to reporters on Friday that the English Premier League's Blackburn Rovers have, indeed, expressed interest in acquiring the FC Dallas central defender. Big D Soccer, SB Nation's FC Dallas blog, was among those to talk to John:
“Obviously it’s a tremendous honor, it’s an opportunity to play in the best league in the world so it’s exciting. I understand FC Dallas as an organization and the league have to make a decision so we’ll se how it goes, it’s kind of out of my hands right now and that’s life.”
While getting a work visa to play in Europe has proved problematic for some players with limited national team experience, John would have no problem as he confirmed his Greek citizenship. As a citizen of a European Union country, he would be free to play in England or any other EU league. John also expressed hope that a move to the EPL could help his chances earn more interest from the United States National Team.
