LOS ANGELES - The LA Galaxy will grant forward Ola Kamara's request to travel to China ahead of a possible transfer to a Chinese Super League Team, the club announced today.
Statement from LA Galaxy General Manager Dennis te Kloese:
"Ola has expressed to us his intention to pursue opportunities elsewhere and we have identified an option that would greatly benefit our club financially. We believe that this decision was needed to improve and balance our roster while granting Ola's request. The transfer would allow us to achieve the best solution for addressing our needs both now and in the future."
