With a new six-year deal, Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina is putting down roots and eyeing Ray Clemence's appearance record.

Reina currently stands on 253 appearances, and with his new six-year deal signed and sealed he has set his sights on the legendary goalkeepers' proud feat.

Clemence made 665 appearances in front of the Kop and Grobbelaar 628, and Reina is flattered with comparisons between two custodians he holds in the highest regard.

"It's nice people compare me to those two, who I call 'monsters' in goalkeeping terms as they were both amazing for this club," Reina told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"To be compared with them I have to win a lot more medals with this club as they achieved great success with Liverpool.

"They both played triple the amount of games I have so far and I have got a long way to go to make over 600 appearances for this club.

"It's a massive amount but I want to play over 600 games for this club one day and hopefully I can achieve that.

"I believe in this club and I believe we will achieve some good things for our supporters. We have this famous history and we want to grow more success for this club in the future."
