Robbie Keane says David Beckham played a part in his move to Los Angeles Galaxy.
He revealed a chat with new team-mate Beckham was key to persuading him to move to the United States.
“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.”
“I have already discussed football with Bruce Arena and I know exactly what he wants from me,” Keane added. “I am fit, fresh and ready to go. I’ve come here to score goals and help this team achieve their goals.
“This is a massive opportunity for me in my career. I aim to grab it with both hands and hopefully help give the Galaxy fans what they want.”
