The club's record £9.5 million signing is being earmarked for a move to Major League Soccer after being pushed out of the picture at Villa.

The Colombian international has been overlooked after boss Martin O'Neill signed John Carew and Ashley Young in January.

And that has made him a target for a string of MLS bosses, who are looking for some Hispanic influence at the club.

Angel still has a year left on his £40,000-a-week Villa Park deal, but he would be a big capture for any Stateside team.
