Jordan Henderson has implored Raheem Sterling to join in him signing a long-term deal with Liverpool.
Vice-captain Henderson, 24, penned a five-year extension on Thursday and is now hoping contract rebel Sterling, who has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea, follows suit.
"I've known Raheem for a good few years now. He is a good friend of mine and my team-mate," Henderson told the Liverpool Echo.
"He has just got to do whatever he thinks is best but, if I was giving him advice, of course I would say: 'This is Liverpool'. I think this is the best place for him'.
"But at the end of the day that decision is up to him. He is a fantastic player for us.
"I hope he stays here and develops with us. He will be a big part of what we are looking to do.
"Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho have committed as well. They have made a statement because they are two top players. If we can get a few more done before the end of the season, I really believe we have got a chance of doing something special."
