Steven Gerrard's switch from Liverpool to LA Galaxy has been given the thumbs up by basketball superstar Kobe Bryant. The Liverpool captain will leave Anfield when his contract runs out in the summer, and the ex-England skipper revealed that he will be making the move to the MLS side on Wednesday [Jan 7].
Gerrard will officially join the Galaxy in July, and five-time Championship ring winner Bryant moved to welcome the midfielder to the StubHub Center ahead of the transfer. The LA Lakers star told their official website: “What can I say, man? Welcome to Los Angeles. Welcome to la la land. Hopefully that means bringing another championship to the Galaxy.

“I’m looking forward to getting out there and watching you do your thing. I’ve been a fan of yours for a very, very long time [because of your] versatility and aggressiveness and leadership. Enjoy and kick some ass in the process."
Gerrard revealed that his decision to join the Galaxy was motivated by their recent success and the legendary Liverpool midfielder is keen to add more silverware to his trophy haul State-side.

“I’m very excited to begin the next chapter of my career in the United States with LA Galaxy," he gushes. “The Galaxy are the most successful club in Major League Soccer history and I am looking forward to competing for more championships in the years to come.
