Ricardo Pepi

Ricardo Pepi is an American striker who emerged as one of MLS's most exciting young talents at FC Dallas before building a successful career in Europe. He has been a consistent scorer for PSV Eindhoven and a key attacker for the United States.

Pepi came through FC Dallas's academy and burst onto the MLS scene, earning the Young Player of the Year award in 2021 before a high-profile move to FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga. After struggling initially in Germany, a loan to FC Groningen and then a move to PSV Eindhoven transformed his career — he has since won three Eredivisie titles with PSV.

Internationally, Pepi has scored 13 goals in 37 appearances for the United States, representing the team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He has also won the CONCACAF Nations League in 2023 and 2024.
