Adam Lallana 'really pleased' to pen new Liverpool deal

Adam Lallana has signed a new short term deal to keep him at Liverpool until the end of July.

The England midfielder was out of contract on June 30, and able to leave on a free transfer, but boss Jurgen Klopp was keen to keep him until the finale of what will be the Reds' title-winning season.

Lallana said: “I am really pleased to have the chance to finish this season – it means a lot to me and my family.

“Now isn't the moment to review my time here because the focus needs to be on the remaining nine matches and the club finishing the season in the best manner possible.

“Of course, one of the big personal positives about committing to this short-term extension is that I will now get to say goodbye to the people who mean so much to me in the right way.

“The gaffer has been different class and we've had an honest conversation about what my role will be in the remaining weeks.

"I want to contribute in the most positive way possible that helps him and the team, not just for the remaining matches of this season – but also what they'll need to consider for next."
