LAFC's 3252 Supporters Union president Kristian Garcia's statement

"We are all very excited, we weren't necessarily expecting it but transfer windows have the added excitement that you never know what's going to happen so it's definitely exciting to have someone of Bale's calibre and we are excited to welcome him to Los Angeles.

"I think a player of Gareth Bale's gravity speaks for itself, he's played for the biggest teams, he's a current Champions League winner, he's won it five times, he's played in the biggest games, and he's delivered in the biggest games.

"A player of that calibre is known around the world and we are absolutely excited to welcome him here."

Since joining Real Madrid in 2014 from Bayern Munich, the 32-year-old has been an important member of Los Blancos' squad.

Toni Kroos has won three Spanish La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns in what remains as a great and impressive achievement for the German.

Last month, his superb performance also helped Real Madrid in beating Premier League side Liverpool to win the Champions League.
