Liverpool are ready to give Joe Gomez a new contract after the England defender indicated he wants to stay at Anfield.
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 is 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.
Newcastle, Aston Villa and Roma have all been linked to the 25-year-old, with former Red Steven Gerrard, who coached at Liverpool when Gomez was there, a big admirer who showed strong interest.
