Lebron James is heading to LA – and he’s been welcomed to California by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. James will join the Los Angeles Lakers on a four-year, $154, (£136m) deal, his representatives, Klutch Sports Group, revealed last night. And he’s been welcomed to the city by another superstar sportsman. Ibrahimovic has been in LA since joining from Manchester United earlier this year. And the Swede has now rolled out the red carpet to former Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat star James.
Now LA has a God and a King!

James can sign with the Lakers officially as soon as Friday. The bombshell announcement changes the scope of both the Eastern and Western Conferences as the Lakers look to re-emerge as championship contenders.
