5 players who could move to MLS at the end of the 2014/15 season

Earlier this year, Steven Gerrard announced that he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season and move to the MLS in the United States of America. Gerrard will play for David Beckham’s old club LA Galaxy after he leaves Anfield and he will also be joined by Frank Lampard, who will join MLS outfit New York City FC after his current spell with Manchester City ends at the end of the season.Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are not the first big names to move to USA. The trend was started by David Beckham after his move to LA Galaxy from Real Madrid. After his move was a success, players like Thierry Henry, Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe and Tim Cahill have all made a move to the MLS during the twilight years of their career.Many other veteran players could follow their colleagues to play in US at the end of the season. Here are five players who could move to MLS at the end of the current season. 

#5 Tim Howard

Tim Howard came to England from the US when he joined Manchester United in 2003. The goalkeeper established himself as a regular starter in the Everton side over the years and was in great form during Roberto Martinez’s first season in charge of the side.

Howard also set a record for the most number of saves in a World Cup game (15) when USA played Belgium. But the 35-year-old has struggled this season and had the worst shots saved percentage among all the Premier League keepers until Christmas.

The veteran has been benched in favour of Joel Robles and Everton are actively looking for a new goalkeeper to challenge Howard. It maybe time for him to return to his home country where he is still a hero.
