Hibs flop Mueller is off to Chicago Fire

CHRIS Mueller has left Hibernian to sign for Chicago Fire after struggling to adapt to Scottish football. The 25-year-old moved to Easter Road amid a wave of hype in January after agreeing a pre-contract last summer to join from Orlando City. But four months after arriving in Edinburgh, and with 15 appearances and one goal to his name, the American has been allowed to return to his homeland for an undisclosed fee. Mueller was on a significant salary at Easter Road. Chief executive Ben Kensell said: ‘Unfortunately this move didn’t work out the way the club or Chris wanted.’
