Robbie Keane yesterday completed his 3m GBP move from Tottenham to LA Galaxy, and took the time out to explain exactly why he decided to move to the USA.

"I am delighted, honoured and very excited to be joining the LA Galaxy," Keane told The Galaxy's website.

"I have always wanted to come and play in MLS so it's the perfect combination for me and a dream come true.

"My family and I have already been made to feel very welcome in telephone calls from (Galaxy owner) Tim Leiweke and (manager) Bruce Arena.

"Also when David Beckham came and trained at Spurs (in January) recently he couldn't speak highly enough about the Galaxy, their fans and the league in general, so I can't wait to get over and get started."
