Donovan excited by Keane arrival

LOS ANGELES Galaxy captain Landon Donovan believes Robbie Keane will slot effortlessly into his new side and go on to become a star in the MLS.

Speaking after the side’s CONCACAF Champions League group stage opener against Honduran champions Montagua, Donovan cited the Irish mentality as a key factor in what Keane will bring.

“We’re all really excited,’’ Donovan said. “His resumé speaks for itself. We’ve all watched him throughout our careers, I can remember many times turning on the tv and seeing him play and score bunches of goals. I think what’s going to be most helpful for this team is that he’s an honest player, every Irish player I’ve ever known has the same mentality, they work hard, they run hard and they want to win. I played with Seamus Coleman at Everton and it was the same way, so we’re expecting really big things from him.
