Ex-Fulham ace Keanu Marsh Brown wanted by six clubs including DC United, Chicago Fire and Portland Timbers
FORMER Fulham kid Keanu Marsh Brown looks set to swap English League Two for the MLS – with six clubs chasing his signature.
The Newport County attacker is on the radar of a number of American outfits this summer including DC United, Chicago Fire and Portland Timbers.
Marsh Brown starred 21 times for County last season scoring just once, but his creativity has caught the eye of various scouts who have watched him on a number of different occasions.
It is understood the playmaker was also scouted during his international debut for the Guyana first team where they faced USA.
Marsh Brown counts Dundee United, Dover and MK Dons among his former clubs.
He played for England under-16s and 17s before making three appearances for the England C team.
The Newport star was even linked to Premier League champions Manchester City in January 2011.
City admitted making contact to Fulham and it is understood that Tottenham were also interested in him.

But Marsh Brown continued his career with Oldham Athletic before he went on to play for Yeovil Town and Barnet.
Speaking about the interest, he said: “Yeah it’s true. I found out one morning that City and Spurs had made enquiries while I was at Fulham and they came in around January.
“But instead I ended signing a new three-year deal with Fulham.”
