The Brazilian midfielder is looking forward to the arrival of the 34-year-old and believes the Liverpool icon will add a lot to the league

Orlando City star Kaka is relishing the opportunity to pit his wits against Steven Gerrard in MLS next season.

The Liverpool captain is set to join LA Galaxy in July, bringing an end to a 26-year association with the Anfield club.

Kaka moved to Orlando ahead of the 2015 MLS season and he believes Gerrard – who he faced in two Champions League finals during his time with Milan – will be a big boost to the league.

“I have good memories of Gerrard,” the Brazilian told Sky Sports.

“He was one of the players I loved to watch. I like the way that he plays and the way that he moves on the field. I’m so happy he’s coming to play here. It’s going to help the league a lot.

“I’m not sure I’m in a position to give him some advice for the league, but it’s very competitive, so he will need to be ready to be competitive with his new team.

“It’s a great experience to play in America in this league with this team and this project. I’m so happy here. Being the superstar of the league is not a pressure, it’s a big motivation.”
