Wales captain Gareth Bale has agreed to join MLS side Los Angeles FC on a free transfer. Forward Bale, 32, is currently a free agent having left Real Madrid after nine years in Spain. LAFC have yet to officially confirm the deal, but Bale tweeted on Saturday saying: “See you soon, Los Angeles”. There was speculation that Bale would end his playing career had Wales missed out on qualification for the 2022 World Cup. The end-of-season play-offs follow, with the season-ending MLS Cup final to be played on 5 November - 16 days before Wales’ World Cup campaign begins with a game against the USA.
