Bouzanis set to sign new Liverpool contract

Young Australian goalkeeper Dean Bouzanis is set to sign a contract that will see him remain with Liverpool until 2015.

Bouzanis' agent, Terry Palapanis, will fly to England later this month to negotiate a new deal for the 18-year old.

His current contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season and with several clubs in Europe showing interest, it is believed the Reds are keen to hold on to his talent.

"Dean's under contract til 2010 but he's hot property at the moment," said Palapanis.

"He wants to stay at Liverpool, as he is really enjoying it over there. They want him to stay and discussions over an extension are pending.

"Other clubs are very interested but I am not entertaining the thought of getting into discussions with them. He's learning from the best at Liverpool, where else would you want to be?"
