Chelsea legend Didier Drogba is being linked with a move to MLS.

Drogba, who rejoined the Blues last July, is out of contract at the end of the season and his future is uncertain.

While conceding a deal is unlikely at this stage, Portland Timbers owner Merritt Paulson says he would love Drogba to be the next big name to move across the Atlantic.

He said: “Drogba is a unique guy who, despite his age, is uniquely skilled to clean up in MLS.

"The League almost signed him a couple years ago and I know my coach would love him to be a Timber, but I highly doubt it at this point.
