MLS sides DC United and Vancouver Whitecaps are keen on Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Hooper, according to Sky sources.

The 30-year-old sees his contract at Hillsborough expire at the end of the season and representatives of clubs in China have also expressed an interest.

Hooper has not played for Wednesday this campaign, in part due to injury, but he scored 11 goals 25 appearances for the Owls last season.

The forward established himself during three years at Celtic in which he scored 82 goals in 138 appearances - and set up a further 30.
