LA Galaxy striker Landon Donovan has said that he is extremely optimistic about the prospects for this season.
LA Galaxy have managed to retain star midfielder David Beckham amidst many rumours linking him with a move to Europe.
David Beckham has signed a two-year deal with the MLS side. This comes as a major boost for the club, which has managed to lift the MLS title last season. They will be hoping to build on the same success this season as well, and Donovan is extremely optimistic about the same. In addition to David Beckham, LA Galaxy have also brought in former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane to the fold.
Speaking ahead of their first match against Real Salt Lake, Donovan said that he is very much looking forward to the prospect of winning the title once again. LA Galaxy are just one title behind the all-time record held by Seattle Sounders.
Donovan has admitted that he expected David Beckham to leave the club after the end of the season. Beckham was linked with the likes of Tottenham and French club PSG, but decided to sign a new contract with LA Galaxy. Donovan expects the presence of Beckham to once again inspire them to the title.
“We are all very excited and maybe a little surprised that David (Beckham) stayed. We are very excited that he wanted to stay here and be a part of this team and I think there is no question what he has meant to our team and his contribution, particularly last year, was vital and very important for us winning the championship,” Donovan said.
Striker Robbie Keane scored three goals for Aston Villa, which proved to be a massive contribution, during his time on loan at the Midlands club. Donovan also spent a few months on loan at Everton.
