‘One of the reasons I chose LA Galaxy was because of the success they’ve had recently.
‘I want to finish my career very strong. I want to add some medals and trophies to my collection.’
LA Galaxy boss Bruce Arena said of the deal:
‘Steven Gerrard arrives in July and by then we will certainly have a plan available.
‘He’s a player of quality. I’m not concerned about how he’s going to fit in with our team.
‘We have a club now with a proven history of success. All those things go hand in hand in making LA Galaxy a very attractive team for players such as Steven Gerrard.’
