With the move last season of several MLS players to the English Premier League, a hot topic of discussion has been which players will go next. As it turns out, the next footballer to take a transatlantic flight might be English. Johnny Wilkinson is the hero of the English rugby team that won the World Cup last year. He kicked the winning drop goal in the final. He is exploring the option of coming to America to play in the NFL. The reason is simple, as the BBC pointed out: "Top kickers in American Football can expect to earn £2-3m per year, a figure that dwarfs Wilkinson's £250,000 salary at Newcastle Falcons."
