Former Coventry City forward Robbie Keane has joined LA Galaxy subject to a work permit being granted.

The MLS side which features former Sky Blue Chris Birchall and David Beckham have paid £3.5m for the Republic Of Ireland international.

"Robbie Keane will be a great addition to our club. I have followed his career and have always respected his ability as a competitor and a goalscorer," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said to the LA Galaxy website.

"I believe that he brings qualities in and around the penalty area that we have been lacking."
