Former Barcelona and Tottenham star Giovani Dos Santos has written an open letter to LA Galaxy fans ahead of his first match for his new club.

Galaxy face Seattle Sounders at home on Sunday, with the match likely to be Dos Santos' debut.

The Mexican joins the likes of Robbie Keane, Landon Donavon and Steven Gerrard in a star studded squad.

Dos Santos, who recently joined from Spanish club Villarreal, wrote:

Los Angeles,

I am overjoyed to tell you that I will be coming to Los Angeles to play for the LA Galaxy.

As you know, soccer is a journey. My journey has taken me to incredible places around the world and now the journey has brought me to you and the city of Los Angeles.

You have supported me when I donned the colors of Barcelona, Tottenham, Villarreal and Mexico. You have cheered me on in a number of memorable matches that I have played in this great city.

And now, I am excited to play for you as an LA Galaxy player. I look forward to your support when I put on the LA Galaxy jersey for the first time and make my MLS debut at StubHub Center this August.

I am excited about what the future holds for us in LA. See you soon.

Un abrazo,

Giovani
