James McFadden - Scotland - Euro 2012 qualifier

Are the Philadelphia Union closing in on rumored transfer target James McFadden?


The striker, currently on his third stint with Scottish Premier League side Motherwell, is being linked to the MLS side once again.


The Evening Times reported on Tuesday that McFadden is "[attempting] to seal a move to the Union" at the moment but will be welcomed back to Motherwell if the deal doesn't get done.



McFadden, 32, is a former Scottish international and has spent the entirety of his career to date in Scotland and England. He went on trial with the Union in Oct. 2015, with Union head coach Jim Curtin praising McFadden's "tremendous pedigree."
