Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said on Saturday he will join an as - yet unnamed team in the United States when he leaves Anfield at the end of the season.

A day earlier, Gerrard, 34, announced he has decided to leave Liverpool after a 25 - year association with the club that has seen him make 695 appearances and score 180 goals.

"I'll be going to play in America," he told Liverpool's in - house television channel, LFC TV. "But I'm not over the line with any team just yet. I'm close and as soon as I know, I'll make the announcement."
