Joe Gomez has signed a new contract at Liverpool, keeping him at Anfield until 2027, and the Reds faithful think it is great news for the future of the club's defence.
After having his game time limited last season due to the return to fitness of Virgil van Dijk and the form shown by Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate, Gomez was attracting interest from Premier League teams as he goes in search of a place in England's World Cup squad.
With two years remaining on his deal, Liverpool knew they had to secure the future of one of their stars and that is exactly what new sporting director Julian Ward has been able to do going into the 2021-22 season.
