NBA star LeBron James has told Liverpool's players he'll stage a huge party in Las Vegas in their honour if they can win a trophy this season. The Miami Heat ace owns a stake in Liverpool and is desperate for his club to do well.

LeBron told The Sun: "I spent some time with Steven Gerrard and he is passionate about his team.

"Everybody in sport needs incentive and if the guys at Liverpool win something this year I will give them the best weekend of their life in Vegas.

"Kanye is in and trust me, nobody does Vegas like LeBron and Kanye."

LeBron added: "We will take them to places in Vegas 99 per cent of people don't even know exist. There is Vegas and then there is Vegas."
