MLS expansion franchise Orlando City SC have made a subtle indication that perhaps they could be in pursuit of Jozy Altidore.
The 21st MLS club will enter the top flight in 2015 and are currently in the process of putting together their inaugural roster for their debut campaign.
On Thursday, the Lions' Twitter page wished Sunderland and USA striker Altidore a happy birthday while throwing in a cheeky hashtag stating that Florida has some desirable weather during November.
The Orlando City tweet read:
Happy Birthday to @JozyAltidore! #OrlandoIsNiceThisTimeOfYearpic.twitter.com/D2ODT64TnT

To which Altidore responded:
@OrlandoCitySC so I've heard. Loving the new kits and thank you.

25-year old Altidore, who was born in New Jersey but grew up in Boca Raton, Florida, has recently been linked with a possible exit from Premier League club Sunderland after failing to make an impact since his 2013 move from AZ Alkmaar.
