Former West Ham United striker Guillermo Franco is weighing up a move to MLS.

The Mexico international has not played since coming off contract at West Ham last season.

The United States is a real alternative for my family and we are thinking about it," he told FutbolMLS.com. "I would love to be part of their [MLS] plans to grow and reach new heights. I am attracted by the prospects.

"Before finishing my contract in England [with West Ham United] the World Cup came right after and I was saying 'one or two years more and that's it.'

"After this break I feel that I'm ready for four or five more years. I feel 100 percent rejuvenated and I am eager to return to play."
