Agen TangKasNet -   Steven Gerrard has revealed he was used by Liverpool to try and entice some of the world's top players to Anfield.

The ex-Reds skipper has recalled the times he personally contacted Willian and Toni Kroos - prior to their respective moves to Chelsea and Real Madrid.

Gerrard points to Liverpol's inability to offer Champions League football in recent years as the biggest reason for their struggle to persuade top-level footballers to Merseyside.

In his new book, My Story, serialised in the Daily Mail, Gerrard describes how he used to contact players by text to set the ball in motion.

"I followed the usual routine when approaching a star player we wanted to sign. Instead of calling him directly I always sent a text.

It seemed more respectful and allowed the player to read my message at a time when it suited him best.

"I used the standard line: ‘If you need to chat or ask any questions I’m available at any time.’ It was the opening move in a familiar game."
