Xherdan Shaqiri happy with Liverpool role

Xherdan Shaqiri insists he's staying with Liverpool next season.

The Swiss star was used as a bit-part player by Jurgen Klopp, rarely getting a start.

The lack of game-time in the closing months of the season led to thoughts that Shaqiri may leave Liverpool this summer.

“Is this why I came to Liverpool? Yes," he said. “This club needs to win titles, and it's a good start to win this one, no? Now next year we are going to go again and try to win the Premier League.

“That's my big dream, to win the Premier League with this club.

“It just feels amazing. It's been a long time since Liverpool won this title, 2005.

“It's amazing to give the fans what they deserve.

“This club deserves everything, the staff, everyone involved. I think we're going to have a big, big party!

“Of course if we didn't win it, we'd have been very disappointed.

“We played such a good season, and we deserved to win at least one trophy."
