The American MLS football club, LA Galaxy have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to buy Ireland captain Robbie Keane.
The 31-year-old, Ireland's record scorer, has struggled to hold down a starting spot at Spurs over the last two seasons and has spent time on loan at Celtic and West Ham United.
The Galaxy deal is subject to Keane receiving a visa and the club says they'll make a change to their squad list before adding Keane because they already have three designated players, the footballers who are paid mainly outside the club's salary cap.
Keane will join David Beckham at the club.
The striker has scored 51 goals in 108 games for Ireland and 123 in 306 games in all competitions during his two spells at Spurs.
He started out at Wolverhampton Wanderers before joining Coventry City in 1999 for a then British record fee for a teenager.
He originally signed for Spurs in 2002, helping them win the League Cup six years later, and rejoined the north London club in 2009 after a disappointing six-month spell at Liverpool.
