Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has hailed Jurgen Klopp's contract extension as the 'most important signing' for years to come.
The Reds boss put pen to paper on Thursday to take his stay at Anfield to at least 2026, a further two years on the original deal that was due to expire in 2024. Aston Villa manager and Liverpool legend Gerrard was among those tipped to replace the German if he was to leave.
Gerrard has been in charge at Villa since November last year, but he couldn't hide his delight at the news and insisted his former club are on the brink of 'something special'.
