Reports suggesting Japanese playmaker Keisuke Honda is considering a move to MLS popped up a few days ago. The rumor suggested Honda - arguably the best-known Japanese player in the world - had attracted the attention of LA Galaxy and New York City FC.
Fair enough. Both those clubs have an ongoing affection for players who have proven top-level talent and top-level marketing potential.
Now there is a third MLS team linked with Honda: calciomercato.com reports the New York Red Bulls "have already made contact" with the player (along with the aforementioned LA and NYCFC).
