ISTANBUL (AA) - Welsh football star Gareth Bale confirmed on Sunday that he is joining US top-tier league MLS (Major League Soccer) club Los Angeles FC.
"See you soon, Los Angeles " Bale said on Twitter, posting a video of him in a cap and club jersey.
The 32-year-old had previously made appearances for Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Real Madrid. He scored 106 goals in 258 matches for Real Madrid.
The Welsh winger clinched five UEFA Champions League titles, four FIFA Club World Cup trophies, three Spanish La Liga, and three UEFA Super Cups with Los Blancos.
