DeAndre Yedlin joined Newcastle United in 2016.

DeAndre Yedlin (L) looks to close down Cal Roberts (R) during the Newcastle United Training session at Carton House on July 13, 2018, in Kildare, Ireland.

Newcastle United right-back DeAndre Yedlin has said that he plans to return to the Seattle Sounders in the future, as quoted on MLSSoccer.com.

Yedlin started his professional club football career at the Sounders before moving to Tottenham Hotspur in 2015.

The 26-year-old USA international defender moved to Newcastle in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £5 million.

The right-back has said that he plans to return to the Sounders before he ends his career.

MLSSoccer.com quotes Yedlin as saying about returning to the Sounders: “One-hundred percent. That’s been my plan all along, to hopefully finish where I started.

“I think that would make for a pretty good career. I remember when I left, [head coach Brian Schmetzer] told me, ‘You’re welcome back at any time.’ So, I’m [going to] hold him to that.”
