Roma's Norweigan defender John Arne Riise has admitted to having a dream of making a move to the MLS. The 29-year-old former Liverpool player has two years left on his contract in Italy and is seriously considering then making a move to America to finish his career.

"I would just like to play there, that is really a dream of mine," Riise told VG Nett.

The powerhouse defender renowned for his delicious left foot spent seven years in England before moving to Italy and fancies ending his career across the Atlantic.

Riise is currently recovering from a knock to the head during international duty and is set to return later this month.
