laravel - Using in_array within elequent call -

i can make following call

$usergroups = auth::user()->getgroups(); 

the above output following

array:10 [▼   0 => "admin"   1 => "teama"   3 => "usa"   4 => "security"   9 => "users" ] 

so can see member of of above groups. have clients table, , 1 of fields of table team. example client so

#attributes: array:11 [▼     "id" => "3"     "clientname" => "some client"     "contactemail" => ""     "team" => "teama"     "created_at" => "2016-07-04 15:08:15"     "updated_at" => "2016-07-04 15:08:15" ] 

what trying clients have team part of logged in users groups. can see apart of teama therefor want clients have team value of teama. thinking along lines of this

$clients =  client::where('team', in_array('teama', $usergroups))->get(); 

the above returns empty result set, demonstrates after.

how can achieve this?

thanks

it sounds if looking wherein?:

$clients = client::wherein('team', $usergroups)->get();
