Steven Gerrard is open to the prospect of returning to the Premier League in a playing capacity later this year, but also suggests that he may call time on his career.

Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Steven Gerrard has admitted that he will "consider" any offers to return to the Premier League later this year.

The former England international has spent the past 15 months in the MLS with Galaxy after bringing his long-standing association with Liverpool to an end.

Gerrard, who has already begun taking his coaching badges, is now into the final stages of his deal in California and has yet to open formal talks over extending his terms into a third season with the club.

Speaking to Liverpool-based radio station Radio City Talk, the 36-year-old said: "I'm wondering whether I should play on for a little bit longer or whether I should call it a day. I haven't 100 per cent decided on that yet.

"I still enjoy playing. I still love coming into training, I still love competing, so if I can carry on and there are opportunities to stay here, or go somewhere else for another six months or 12 months, then I'll consider it. I'm going to be a long-time retired and so I still want to enjoy things while I'm still feeling good.

"With Jurgen Klopp and Ronald Koeman on Merseyside, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho in Manchester and Antonio Conte, Mauricio Pochettino and Arsene Wenger in London, it's really exciting for the Premier League. I can't wait until there's around 10 games to go to see how it all unfolds. This could be one of the best ever seasons."

Gerrard has found the net three times for Galaxy in the MLS this season in 18 appearances.
