Paul Dickov hopes to win deal with Toronto FC

FORMER Scotland striker Paul Dickov is hoping to link up with compatriot Mo Johnston by winning a contract at MLS side, Toronto FC.

The 37-year-old – who is also wanted by Leeds United after negotiating his release from Leicester City last month – played 70 minutes as a trialist in the Canadian side's goal-less draw with DC United on Wednesday.

Johnston is 'director of soccer' at the BMO Field.
