Joe Gomez has signed a new five-year contract, to keep him at Liverpool until 2027.
The England international defender agreed a new improved deal, with the club keen to sign him on for the long term, after interest from several clubs. Speculation was rife the centre-half would ask to leave Anfield this summer, after slipping down the pecking order in Jurgen Klopp’s defence, following the arrival of Ibrahima Konate last season.
But Klopp was keen for Gomez to stay, and believes he will get plenty of opportunities in a Liverpool defence which saw action on all fronts last season, as they chased a quadruple. The new contract reflects Klopp’s view of Gomez as a key part of his squad for the next five years, with the manager’s faith crucial to the decision to extend his contract.
