LAFC ready to put Gareth Bale 'in a position to succeed' - general manager

LAFC co-president and general manager John Thorrington says his club is ready to put Gareth Bale "in a position to succeed" following Saturday's news that the Wales international would be joining Major League Soccer's top team this summer as a free agent.

"We've done our diligence as you would hopefully expect," Thorrington said at half-time of LAFC's home game against the New York Red Bulls. "We had very open conversations [with Bale] and again, we did our diligence and we know what we are getting into.

"We have had very detailed conversations with Gareth about what he needs to be successful.
