A move to the Galaxy would reunite Gerrard with
his old Liverpool team-mate Robbie Keane and see
him follow in the footsteps of former England
colleague David Beckham, who spent five years at
the California club.
Gerrard scored twice for Liverpool in their 2-1 FA
Cup third-round win at fourth-tier AFC Wimbledon
on Monday, taking his tally for the season to nine
goals.
