Queens Park Rangers striker Djibril Cisse has spoken out about how he sees the rest of his career turning out – and admitted he is attracted to the idea of playing in the MLS.
Cisse joined QPR in the 2012 January transfer window, moving to the English Premier League outfit from Serie A side Lazio.
The Rs represent the Frenchman’s third club in England, after initially signing for Liverpool in 2004 and then enjoying a stint with Sunderland on loan in the 2008/09 campaign.
The 31-year-old hitman is now ready to play at what he calls "the highest level" for another four years – and two of those will be after his QPR contract comes to an end in 2014.
And Cisse has already been planning exactly what his next steps will be, with unfinished business to take care of in France’s Ligue 1, before a potential switch to the MLS.
"I don’t feel tired. I’m giving myself three to four more years at the highest level", Cisse told TV Mag.
"I am under contract with QPR until 2013/14. Then I will return to France to fulfil a personal goal, which is selfish, and is to get over the line with 100 goals in Ligue 1. I am at 94 now.
"After this, I would not mind finishing my career in the United States.
"I’m really attracted to this country."
Cisse notched up six goals in eight Premier League games last season for QPR and will be aiming to get amongst the goals once again in the current campaign.
The former Liverpool man has clocked up three Premier League appearances thus far this season.
