Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with Luis Suarez's new contract.

Rodgers is naturally delighted to be working with a player of Suarez's calibre.

"When you have the opportunity to work with world-class players it's fantastic," said Rodgers.

"There were certainly a few clubs who were interested in him, but over the off-season he and I communicated well and he's committed himself for the long term here now.

"He's really looking forward to playing in this way of working.

"As a manager and for the supporters, I'm delighted because I know how important he is for them."
