MLS Buzz Grows as Bradley Cross Nears LA Galaxy Move

MLS transfer chatter is heating up, and it now includes one of South Africa’s rising defensive talents. Bradley Cross, a standout for Kaizer Chiefs, has reportedly traveled to the United States to explore a potential stint with LA Galaxy. For fans in Houston, the move brings new interest to the Western Conference picture as the Houston Dynamo prepare for another competitive campaign.

Cross, who has been gaining steam as one of the most composed young defenders in his league, could soon be sharing the locker room with global star Marco Reus — a summer signing who has already electrified Galaxy supporters. According to Goal.com, Cross’ trip to the U.S. signals serious momentum in talks, though the move is not yet finalized.

Why It Matters for Houston Dynamo Fans

The Dynamo are gearing up for a season where the Western Conference looks more stacked than ever. If LA Galaxy add Cross to their roster, they’ll bolster a defense that has been inconsistent in recent years. Houston’s attackers—who already face tough matchups across the conference—would have to navigate a new, disciplined presence on the Galaxy backline.

In addition, the pairing of Reus and Cross would make LA one of the most intriguing teams to watch this year. Reus brings elite vision and world-class experience, while Cross offers fresh energy and a high ceiling. For Houston fans, this potential move is worth tracking as the Dynamo continue shaping their own playoff push.

What’s Next

LA Galaxy have not confirmed the signing, but reports suggest negotiations are moving in the right direction. If completed, Cross would join MLS at a pivotal moment, with the league increasingly drawing international talent.

Houston supporters should keep an eye on upcoming Galaxy announcements, especially with critical conference matchups ahead.
