Steven Gerrard is considering his next career move after his contract with Los Angeles Galaxy was not renewed.
The former Liverpool captain scored five goals in 34 appearances during his 18-month spell in the MLS, but was unable to win a trophy and there have been suggestions he could now opt for Celtic.
Here, we take a look at the Sky Bet odds on his next career options:
There has already been reports linking Gerrard with a reunion with former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers at Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. The pair came close to winning the Premier League in the 2013/14 season, but Gerrard could be tempted by one last swansong and extend his playing career in a bid to win more trophies. The Hoops are 10 points clear in the Premiership, are still in the Scottish League Cup and will be among the favourites for the Scottish Cup.
Jurgen Klopp has said Gerrard is "always welcome" back at Anfield, but any return would be in an off-field role. Gerrard is taking his coaching badges and may see his former club as the ideal place to start a new chapter where he won two FA Cups, three League Cups, the UEFA Cup and the Champions League in 2005.
Reports have linked Gerrard to reunite with former boss Rafael Benitez at Newcastle. It was under the Spaniard's management that Gerrard lifted the Champions League trophy in Istanbul, while he also won the FA Cup in 2006 as well as the UEFA Super Cup and the Community Shield during Benitez's tenure. With the Magpies eyeing an instant return to the Premier League, they could perhaps see Gerrard's leadership qualities and experience as valuable assets to bring to the squad.
The Chinese Super League would certainly be attractive from a financial point of view, but the bookmakers deem it unlikely that the former England captain would be willing to relocate to China from America.
David Beckham famously ended his playing career with a swansong with the French giants in the second half of the 2013-14 season - and the allure of Champions League football could be tempting if an approach was made.
Odds are all correct at 1830 GMT on 15/11/2016. All bets void if Gerrard retires.
