In 2007, when David Beckham and his wife Victoria arrived in Los Angeles to initiate David’s contract with the LA Galaxy, their landing was celebrated with much enthusiasm.
A similar scene unfolded today with Robbie Keane and his wife Claudine.
The Irish striker is transitioning to an MLS club from Tottenham, joining Beckham on a two-year contract. Based on their expressions upon arrival, the couple appears overjoyed about their move to Hollywood.
As he exited the terminal, Keane, 31, waved at the gathered photographers and fans, with a beaming Claudine beside him.
Ensuring she was ready for cameras, the WAG, 27, showcased perfectly styled hair and makeup, along with glamorous attire that seemed ill-suited for comfortable travel.
The 27-year-old sported bright blue skinny jeans, a midriff-baring top, an Hermes Birkin bag, and spiked Christian Louboutin heels.
The couple cheerfully posed for the photographers, with Robbie leaning in to plant a kiss on his wife’s cheek at one juncture.
Expressing his excitement, Keane stated that it was a ‘dream come true’ to join the MLS and mentioned how David Beckham influenced his decision to move after their conversation regarding the Galaxy when the former England captain trained with Spurs in January.
‘When David Beckham came and trained at Spurs recently, he couldn’t speak highly enough about the Galaxy, their fans, and the league in general. I’m really looking forward to getting started,’ he remarked.
According to Galaxy boss Bruce Arena, ‘Robbie Keane will be an excellent addition to our club. I have monitored his career and have always appreciated his skills as a competitor and a goal scorer.’
‘I believe he possesses qualities in and around the penalty area that we have been missing.’
‘Hopefully, he will fit into the puzzle as we pursue the Supporters’ Shield and an MLS Cup championship, in addition to advancing to the next stage of the Champions League.’
