LA Galaxy captain Robbie Keane is confident that Steven Gerrard will have an extremely positive affect on the MLS champions.
The Liverpool icon will make his way to Carson, California in July once his current deal at Anfield expires, meaning he will arrive in LA during the midway point of the 2015 MLS season.
Galaxy star Keane, who played alongside Gerrard at Liverpool in 2008 and the early stages of 2009, knows the former England skipper very well and feels he will bring all of his beneficial team attributes straight into Bruce Arena's title-winning squad when he finally does make the trip across the Atlantic.
"He's one of [the best midfielders I've played with], he and Roy Keane, I would say, definitely would be up there," Keane said.
"His ability to make players around him even better [will be] a big thing when he comes.
"Players will see how good he is and how simple he makes things. He's certainly going to be a huge help to this team.
"I'm not surprised [he decided to come to MLS] because a lot of players want to come over here and know how good the league is.
"He's looking forward to the new challenge [and it's] something new for him.
"He's from Liverpool himself, he's never left home, so I'm sure he's going to enjoy it over here and, most importantly, help us win championships."
