Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez has finally taken the field with the LA Galaxy.
The Mexican striker participated in his first training sessions with his new team Thursday after securing his required P-1 Visa earlier this week.
“I’m just very motivated — very happy and very excited to start doing what I love most, playing football, playing soccer,” Chicharito said after his first practice. “I’m very happy that I have my permit already and I can start training.”
Chicharito officially joined the Galaxy on Jan. 21, when he was signed to a deal reported to include a multimillion-dollar transfer fee and a base salary of around $6 million.
