Incoming MLS franchise Montreal Impact are looking to bring in Houston Dynamo's Andre Hainault in exchange for Brian Ching.
The Impact selected veteran forward Ching in last week's MLS Expansion Draft against the player's wishes and in the process boiled the blood of Dynamo officials.
Now they are hoping to trade Ching back to Houston for Canadian international defender Hainault which is sure to test the resolve of the 2011 MLS Cup runners-up.
Houston left Ching unprotected for the draft and it backfired with the Impact swooping for his services and now the Canadian club are looking to play hardball by requesting the services of Hainault if the Dynamo want their star striker back at the Robertson Stadium.
