Stateside: Gerrard is in the US to seal his move to Major League Soccer

Steven Gerrard has flown to the USA to seal his move to Major League Soccer.

The Liverpool skipper has been given leave by the club to cross the Atlantic and tie up a switch to LA Galaxy that is expected to net him just shy of £4million over 18 months.

The Reds are thought to already have enquired about a loan back arrangement for next winter when the North American season takes a break.

While Gerrard could have commanded a far greater salary staying in Europe or even moving to the Middle East, his entourage are well aware of the commercial opportunities of a switch to California.

The veteran midfielder hopes to announce a deal in the net 24-48 hours, allowing him to concentrate his efforts on the Anfield club until the end of the campaign.

Major League Soccer must ratify the deal first, however, with the league to announce that they are contributing over £500,000 of Gerrard's salary.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity. Of course, in the movie, their character's are close; it follows the story of a manipulative young woman named Nicola Six (Heard) who strings along three men including a writer named Samson Young (Thornton) in a bid to bring about her own murder.
