Losing Ola Kamara was a gut punch for most LA Galaxy fans, but soon after the dreaded news begin to sink in, the supporters simply wanted to hear from the Norwegian international who scored 14 goals during his lone year in Los Angeles.

Shortly after finalizing his transfer to the Chinese Super League, Kamara did just that.

“I want to thank all the amazing Galaxy fans for your relentless support last year” says Kamara. “It was truly an honor playing for such passionate fans. To the players, staff, and people in the organization, I wish you all the best this season. Go get that 6th star and trophy. I will be supporting all of you from the other side of the world You are all fantastic people. To leave Norway in 2016 and play in MLS for the Columbus Crew was a big decision. Best choice I ever made. Playing in MLS for Crew and Galaxy made me develop both as a player and person. I am proud to have shared the football field with such great players these last 3 years. I will cherish these experiences and memories for the rest of my life. Thank you very much.”

Best of luck in China Ola!
