Steven Gerrard's wife Alex reveals that she "can't wait" to uproot from Liverpool to Los Angeles with her family in the summer.

Steven Gerrard's wife Alex has admitted that she "can't wait" to start a new life in Los Angeles with the Liverpool captain and their family.

The former England skipper will move to the United States in the summer after agreeing a deal with MLS side LA Galaxy.

During a recent house-hunting trip to LA, Alex told The Mirror: "I can't wait to move here. He has an 18-month deal, but I hope he gets it extended because it's great here. I'd love to stay here longer. It's so different to Liverpool, but I think we'll be really happy."

However, the mother-of-three has admitted that she has struggled to convince her 10-year-old daughter Lilly-Ella to get excited about the move.

"She's like 'oh no, I don't want to go, I don't want to leave my friends'," Alex added. "It's been a bit difficult trying to persuade her, but once she's here I'm sure she'll love it, I know she will."

The couple are also parents to Lexie, eight, and three-year-old Lourdes.
