Nicolas Anelka came close to signing for a Major League Soccer franchise in the summer and could still yet make a move to America, according to one of his representatives.
Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas recently revealed he expected the French striker to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season when his contract expires.
The 32-year-old was heavily linked with a move to the MLS in August and, while a move failed to materialize, his camp has confirmed the US could very well be his next destination.
"I can confirm that Nicolas is still possibly interested in pursuing an MLS career," Michael Wiesenfeld told Goal.com, who is part of European Football Group, an organization which will represent Anelka should he join MLS.
"He got very close to landing a nice contract with a team on the West Coast in August. He also has opportunities elsewhere in the world."
It is understood that Anelka almost joined Los Angeles Galaxy, who instead used their third Designated Player spot to bring in Robbie Keane for a reported salary of 3.4 million dollars per season.
