I was looking for a list of current USA born soccer players (or those
who hold dual national status) who are registered to play in the UK
Premier league, and what clubs they play for.

I have found a list dated June 2, 2004 of Americans playing soccer
abroad, including in the English Premier League. The league and team
they are playing in is included.

Would this interest you?

Best regards,
Rainbow

I also located another site that provides the teams and players of the
English Premier League (2005-2006). The flag of each player is
included next to their name.

it is preferable that the information applies to the current season
(2005/06), and would ideally be able to identify players who qualify
to play for the USA national team, including players such as Jemal
Johnson at Blackburn Rovers....  If the list containing the
nationality of the current premiership players (as per your 2nd
clarification) request contains "jemal johnson" at blackburn, then i
think it would be a suitable answer to my question!!!

thanks

Hi ssiraj,

Thank you for your clarification. I am providing both sites I
mentioned in my clarification. However, according to the second site

North End.

"Jemal Johnson (born 3 May 1985 in Paterson, New Jersey) is an
American football player. He is a striker for Blackburn Rovers of the
FA Premier League. On 28 October 2005, Rovers announced that Johnson
would join Preston North End F.C. on a month's loan."
