Both Leeds United and Leicester City are reportedly considering making a move for the 43-year-old following their relegation from the Premier League, despite the fact that the Foxes still currently have a manager with Dean Smith yet to be relieved of his duties at the King Power Stadium.

Gerrard faced Wednesday just twice as a player, winning once and losing once, with his first senior goal for the Reds coming in a 4-1 win over the Owls in 1999.
