Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is on the brink of finalising an 18-month deal to join Los Angeles Galaxy. An announcement is expected this week.

The 34-year-old will sign a contract worth around £4m per year, making him one of the highest earners in the MLS. He will be available to play once his contract with Liverpool expires at the end of June.

Gerrard will join up with former Liverpool teammate Robbie Keane in LA. While MLS has a salary cap structure, each club has three 'Designated Player' places which they can use to sign star players.

Keane is one such player as was Landon Donovan, who has now left the Galaxy having retired, and vacated a place the Gerrard will fill.

BBC Radio 5 live

Former FA chairman David Bernstein has been talking to BBC Radio 5 live about Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein and the Jordanian Prince's challenge against incumbent Sepp Blatter for the leadership of world football's governing body.

Bernstein says: "I know him fairly well from my time at the FA. He will provide a strong challenge to Sepp Blatter and if he got the position he would do it very well.

"Fifa needs a major shake-up and it has lost its credibility. It certainly needs a change and this guy could do it.

"Blatter isn't a fool and he is a very shrewd operator and he gets a lot of support. He isn't popular in Europe but in other parts of the world where FIFA does a lot of good things he has a lot of support.

Manchester United have been linked with a move for Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman but the Italian club's manager Rudi Garcia does not appear ready to let the midfielder go, reports the Manchester Evening News., external

The 24-year-old returned from a serious knee injury towards the end of last year and Garcia hopes he can have a major impact for his team in the remainder of the campaign.

"With Kevin, we obviously knew he had such a bad injury that it would take him time to get back to 100%," said Garcia.

"He'll basically only have half a season, but fortunately we play less games in the first half of the campaign.

"The more he trains, the more he is improving. For Kevin, the break was important, even in a mental sense to get back to training with a freshness. Gradually, we'll see whether he is 100%, but he is getting back to it in training."
