Steven Gerrard is one of the best players in the history of Liverpool Football Club, one of the most prestigious clubs in the world.


Therefore it comes as no surprise that he had offers from around Europe in addition to the LA Galaxy's. This, according to the man himself.


"I had a couple opportunities around Europe, some nice opportunities," Gerrard told Galaxy TV after his arrival in Southern California.



According to the 35-year-old, he chose the Galaxy because "I wanted a completely fresh challenge. I wanted to come out of my comfort zone. I wanted to live away from home and get a different life experience."
