Zlatan Ibrahimovic completed his move to Los Angeles Galaxy on Friday, aiming to conquer Major League Soccer in the final stop of his glittering career.
The iconic 36-year-old striker announced his move in a typically enigmatic full-page advert in the Los Angeles Times, which read simply: "Dear Los Angeles - you're welcome."
"I am excited to join a club with a winning legacy that has embodied soccer in Los Angeles for over 20 years."
Asked by the Los Angeles Times if he believed Los Angeles was big enough to accommodate his larger-than-life personality, he added: "If not, I'll make it bigger."
"He's made it clear he's coming here to win championships," Beckerman told the Times. "It's not about the money. LA is a place for stars, and he's going to be one of the brightest stars that's ever played in this market."

"Or is LA getting a washed-up 36-year-old forward who isn't even a year removed from a devastating knee injury, and can no longer rely on his once-prodigious physical gifts?"
"I am ready to go now," Ibrahimovic said. "First of all, I'm there to play football. I'm not there for something else. My first objective is to play football and do what I'm good at."
