Shaqiri commits future to Liverpool despite 'frustrating' season

Xherdan Shaqiri insists he is committed to Liverpool despite enduring a "frustrating" season.

The Swiss was a bit-part player during the Reds march to their first Premier League title in 30 years, making 11 appearances across all competitions.

This lead to speculation Shaqiri could be sold this summer, but the man himself says he is happy at Anfield.

"Always if you are injured or if you are not playing, you're frustrated," he told the club's website.

"But I'm looking forward to this season and trying to help the team all the time, so I have the chance to play like the first season.

"As a team, I just want us to achieve a lot of things. I think we have a lot of good players in our team, everyone can play and we try to make it very difficult for the coach as always.

"I'm trying to give my best too and to help the team to win games, titles – that's the most important thing for me."
