Greece fullback Kostas Tsimikas is delighted with his new deal at Liverpool.

The defender penned a new long-term contract with the Reds on Monday.

“But this keeps me fully motivated for the rest. As I've said in many, many interviews, this team has many, many things to achieve all together and I wanted to be from the first minute a part of it."

Tsimikas also told liverpoolfc.com: “[I'm targeting] more success, more work and more trophies.
