Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has struck a deal with the New York Red Bulls of the MLS. Barcelona’s season ended yesterday as they clinched La Liga’s crown just ahead of Real Madrid. Henry will play in the World Cup for France this summer then join the Red Bulls shortly after. The 32 year old holds the record for most international goals scored for homeland.

This is interesting, but good news for the MLS. It appears as if it is slowly, but surely drawing more international attention. Due to the fact that most of the top European Club seasons barely overlap that of the MLS we could see more well-known players coming to America. This, of course, would be a tremendous boost for the MLS.
