LA Galaxy are lining up a shock move for Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard. The Mail on Sunday says LA Galaxy are lining up a shock move for Lampard as the perfect choice to replace David Beckham.

It would need a considerable offer to prise Lampard, 33, from Stamford Bridge, especially since his sparkling form has silenced doubts over his future under new manager Andre Villas-Boas.

But Galaxy need to find someone close to Beckham's profile if speculation about him leaving the Home Depot Center after next Sunday's sell-out MLS Cup final against Dynamo Houston turns out to be well founded.
