Houston Dynamo president Steve Powell says MLS clubs will be queuing for Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

Gerrard announced yesterday he would not be renewing his current deal, which expires in June.

Powell said: "I think every team in the MLS would like to sign Steven Gerrard and would find a way to add him to the teamsheet.

"I've heard the same rumours for his next club and although you look at the traditional markets like Chicago, there are a lot of clubs in the MLS who have been successful on and off the pitch and could afford his financial demands.

"The MLS is no longer a landing spot for footballers to retire to and just earn a cheque. Players soon realise it is physical and competitive and there is a lot of travel involved.

"In addition to the salary, any club seriously considering signing him will have to really get their head around expectations he will bring to the table in terms of his leadership and playing ability."
