Chelsea veteran Branislav Ivanovic set for MLS move in 2017 – report

Chelsea right-back Branislav Ivanovic could find himself playing in the MLS in next year.
The Serbian international, who has been at Stamford Bridge since his move from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008, has no long-term future at Chelsea and is expected to be the subject of offers with his contract expiring at the end of the 2016/17 season.
According to Bleacher Report, he looks set to join former colleagues such as Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole in completing a move to the MLS in either the January or summer transfer window.

Ivanovic’s performances have been dwindling over the last few years after an apparent reduction in mobility and speed, the 32-year-old has subsequently been criticised by some for not doing enough to mask oppositions’ supply.
However, he has still remained effective going forward, delivering dangerous crosses and popping up with the odd strike or header.

Ivanovic has made 251 appearances for Chelsea, winning two Premier League titles, a UEFA Champions League, a UEFA Europa League (in which he scored a 120th minute winning header), three FA Cups and one League Cup.

Branislav Ivanovic has won 57% of his attempted tackles and has an average pass accuracy of 84% in the Premier League this season
