Matt Freese is a technically assured goalkeeper who developed at Philadelphia Union under one of MLS's most demanding defensive systems before moving to New York City FC. His shot-stopping and distribution have been consistently solid in MLS, and he has earned USMNT recognition as a reliable third-choice option. At 27 he is in the prime years of a goalkeeper's development, and his experience in a possession-based system at NYCFC aligns well with Pochettino's preference for goalkeepers who can play out from the back. He is unlikely to start but provides genuine quality in reserve.
