Sargent, now 19, became the youngest U.S. player to score at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2017 at just 17 years old. He trained with the senior national team this summer and played the full 90 minutes during the USMNT's 1–0 exhibition loss to Jamaica in June. He was left off of the team's roster for the Concacaf Gold Cup but has been welcomed back into the fold for the September friendlies vs. Mexico and Uruguay.

Sargent scored twice in 10 Bundesliga appearances last season.
