Liverpool defender Joe Gomez: I want to be centre-back, but...

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez says he's happy playing anywhere across the back.

Gomez admits he's now no longer set on playing in a set position.

"I mean I'm probably getting to an age now where I'm not resisting as much," said Gomez of his thoughts on playing across the backline. "I think trying to embrace whatever position I play is probably more important for me.

"If I was to write on paper where I play, I would probably still write centre-back. But with time, you grow in appreciation for the game and just learning it.

"Trying to be dynamic and enjoy that position is something I enjoy as well. It brings different challenges and I enjoy that test. I think when I was younger I probably did resist it more and have a different outlook towards it when I played there. As I've got older it's embracing it and appreciating the challenge."
