Dos Santos set to make LA Galaxy debut in CCL

Giovani dos Santos can lead LA Galaxy to CONCACAF Champions League glory, according to club president Chris Klein.

Giovani dos Santos will make his LA Galaxy debut Thursday against Central in the CONCACAF Champions League, which president Chris Klein believes the club can win with the Mexican playmaker.

Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said Tuesday that Dos Santos will play "in some capacity" against Trinidad and Tobago-based club Central in a competition that Klein is desperate to win as LA attempts to gain continental domination.

Dos Santos was confirmed as a Galaxy player July 15, joining Steven Gerrard as a midseason recruit for Arena, and Klein reckons the capture of those players confirms that LA is a Champions League contender.
