The Reds however face serious competition for Herrington.According to The Athletic, Spanish giants Barcelona are also interested and have apparently had an opening bid turned down by Colorado.Speaking recently about his future, Herrington said: “I just want to keep enjoying it, taking it day by day. It’s just Colorado, and now just focusing on the World Cup.“That’s where my focus is at the moment; we’ll see what happens after that.

But loving my football in Colorado, and we’ll see what happens.“It’s the people in my circle, they keep me grounded and keep me humble. They’ll sort everything else out.“Just me, focus on the field, and just play the best I can every week, and that’s just sort of what I keep doing, just taking it week by week, and just game by game.”Meanwhile, those who watch the youngster in action in the US have been full of praise.

Rapids president Padraig Smith said earlier this year: “He is an exceptionally talented young man with the world at his feet.“When our scouts identified him, and we began the recruitment process, we knew he had a high ceiling.”Ex-Arsenal defender Rob Holding has also offered his take and said: “He’s super composed, super relaxed, on the ball, under pressure. He just keeps getting better and better each week.”Herrington could make his World Cup debut next week with Australia set to take on Paraguay.
