The LA Galaxy's newest goalkeeper has a pretty familiar surname.
Jonathan Klinsmann, the son of former U.S. men's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, has signed with the MLS side, leaving St. Gallen in Switzerland to return to Southern California, where he was raised. The Munich-born Klinsmann has been a member of the USA U-23 national team player pool and was a starter for the U.S. in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
There are levels to this acquisition, more so than usual. It was LA Galaxy legend Landon Donovan who was the target of Jonathan Klinsmann's most notorious moment: a tweet that celebrated Donovan's controversial omission by his father from the 2014 World Cup squad.
