Liverpool defender Joe Gomez happy penning new contract

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has signed a new contract.

Gomez moved to Anfield from Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2015 and has since made 142 appearances, claiming winners' medals in the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

He told Liverpoolfc.com: “It's obviously a special moment for me and my family. Another one that you dream of as a kid and one I don't take for granted.

“It is an unbelievable place to be; in my eyes, probably one of the best - if not the best - clubs in the world at the minute. The opportunity to extend my stay here was an easy decision to make, really.

“Obviously, I have been here quite a while now, but in the grand scheme of things I still feel young and, like you say, the best years are ahead of me. I have got more to learn and the time to do that.

“I think I have the platform here to do it with the manager and the coaching staff around me and my teammates, to make sure the best years are ahead."
