With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia making a huge push to lure some of the biggest names in football to the Middle East in time for next season, it was only natural to hear of links to Steven Gerrard.
The legendary former Liverpool captain might have officially hung up his boots in November 2016 but he remains one of the true global icons of the world game and with teams across Saudi Arabia looking to bring in a whole host of famous faces on the pitch, Gerrard had been earmarked to bring his star power to the dugout too.
With the likes of Karim Benzema and Ruben Neves set to join Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Pro League next season - as well as a smattering of other big names, if recent reports are to be believed - it's clear that KSA are aiming to diversify their considerable wealth into football.
