Some Premier League legends have passed through the ranks of LA Galaxy - The immediate names which spring to mind are David Beckham, Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard. Therefore, LA Galaxy fans may keep an optimistic eye on the English top flight, with the hopes of getting an early glimpse on some of their future stars. Those fans will be familiar with AFC Bournemouth.
Bournemouth have not always been a Premier League mainstay but since they have shot up the ranks of English football, have proven to be a great outfit. Their first season in the Premier League was in the 2015/16 campaign, when a lot of people had the preconcpetion they would go straight through relegation again. Instead, they spent an impressive five seasons in the top flight.
Since then, Bournemouth have dipped in and out of the Championship (second flight of English football) but this season, they have exceeded all expectations and sit 10th in the table, which would be a respectable finish if this is how things pan out.
