The LA Galaxy are not a side that keep designated player spots open for long. Between David Beckham, Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane, the five time MLS champions have been built on star players.
After the departure of Robbie Keane & Steven Gerrard at the end of a disappointing 2016, for Galaxy standards, the team was going to a have a new look. Once Bruce Arena accepted the US Men’s National Team manager position, it looked like the club might be ready for a reboot.
Giovani dos Santos remained as the lone DP from 2016, until LA announced the signing of 27 year old, winger Romain Alessandrini.
