LA Galaxy manager Bruce Arena wants Steven Gerrard, Robbie Keane stay

LA Galaxy manager Bruce Arena is hopeful that Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane will stay on at the club beyond the end of their current contracts.

Los Angeles Galaxy manager Bruce Arena has urged Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane to stay at the club beyond the end of the season.

Both players will see their contracts officially expire at the end of the current MLS campaign, although Galaxy's season is already over after they were beaten in the playoffs by Colorado Rapids.

Gerrard has been linked with a move back to Liverpool in a coaching role, but Arena is hopeful that he and Keane - who has scored 104 goals in 164 appearances for the club - will extend their stays.

"We were honoured to have Stevie here as well as Robbie and are hopeful they continue to be part of our club," Arena is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"If Sunday was [Gerrard's] last game, to finish the way he finished with that penalty and the 45 minutes he played after being out for close to two months, was pretty impressive.

"There are very few players who have contributed as Robbie has. Three championships, more than 100 goals. He embraced the league. You don't always see that from international players."

Keane joined Galaxy in 2011, while Gerrard arrived four years later.
