Former Liverpool forward Xherdan Shaqiri has admitted it was his desire to leave France just six months after he made the move to Lyon.
The Swiss international was unveiled by Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire on Monday and conducted a press conference alongside sporting director George Heitz and head coach Ezra Hendrickson.
Despite a positive start to life in Ligue 1, with two goals in 11 appearances, he endured a difficult run that eventually led to his departure earlier this month.
