Former Portugal national and England's "Premier" league 12th place mid defender Abel Xavier, who recently became a free agent, decided to continue his career across the Atlantic and joined the Los Angeles "Galaxy" team, where David Beckham will also play next season. The experienced 34-year-old footballer, who signed a year and a half contract with the new club, last week was dissatisfied with the new contract offered by "Middlesbrough" and rejected it, at the same time leaving the team. The media reported that another "Premier" league club, "Newcastle," and "Championship" winner "Sunderland," expressed their desire to see the former "Liverpool" and "Everton" defender in their team, but the American "Galaxy" club, where former England national team captain David Beckham will play next season, won the battle for the Portuguese's signature.
