Barack Obama hosts Robbie Keane's LA Galaxy at White House

The Republic of Ireland striker, 34, and his club were honoured for their 2014 achievements in a ceremony at The White House on Monday.

Keane was named MLS Most Valuable Player after captaining Galaxy to the Western Conference title.

He then scored the extra-time winner in the 2014 MLS Cup final.

Keane joined Galaxy from Tottenham in 2011, following a career that has seen him play at Wolves, Leeds United, Inter Milan and Liverpool.

Andre Schurrle: Chelsea winger completes £22m Wolfsburg move

The winger, 24, was in Germany's World Cup-winning squad, scoring twice in the 7-1 semi-final victory over Brazil and playing in the final against Argentina.

He joined Chelsea for £18m from Bayer Leverkusen in June 2013 and scored 14 goals for the club.

Schurrle's transfer allowed Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado to move to Chelsea from Fiorentina in a £23.3m deal.

The 26-year-old signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Schurrle was mostly used as a substitute by manager Jose Mourinho and came off the bench to score in the 1-1 draw with title rivals Manchester City in September.

Last month, Mourinho said it would take a "phenomenal" offer to sell him in the current transfer window.
