JOHN McGinn will fly to America today for signing talks with MLS side Houston Dynamo.

And St Mirren won’t receive a penny in compensation for the Scotland Under-21 skipper if he seals a move to Texas.

Hearts, Hibs and Wigan were all keen to land midfielder McGinn, with the Buddies holding out for a £200,000 development fee.

But that fee won’t apply if he agrees on a switch to Owen Coyle’s side in the States.

McGinn is out of contract and he rejected an offer from gaffer Ian Murray to stay in Paisley.

He is pursuing a legal claim against Saints after being ‘speared’ by team-mate Steven Thompson in a training drill accident.

McGinn was out for six weeks after the incident but is now fit and could be an MSL player this week.
