Just when Liverpool fans thought the club had settled off-the-field matters for the summer, more good news dropped on Thursday.
The Reds announced a new long-term contract for defender Joe Gomez, indicating a significant show of faith in a centre-back who struggled for regular minutes last season. In him, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joel Matip, manager Jurgen Klopp has excellent depth in the position.
It also gives the group even more clarity heading into the new campaign, with pre-season training beginning to ramp up at the AXA training complex this week.
