Former Liverpool defender opens up on Adam Lallana's future

Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol believes Jurgen Klopp will keep Adam Lallana at Anfield. Lallana joined the Reds in the summer of 2014. This season he has found his playing time limited, having made just 13 league appearances. Lately the England international was linked with the move to Leicester City. However, no offer has been made. Yet, the midfielder's contract expires this summer, which may mean the player is near to free agency. Nicol believes despite Lallana's limited playing time at the club, Jurgen Klopp will keep him on his books. Asked about the 31-year-old's future, he told ESPN FC: "I’m not so sure. As a player you want to play but I think he seems to me he’s in a stage where ‘I like being at Liverpool, I enjoy being at Liverpool, it’s a great place to be, I’m playing some games, I’m having fun. Do I want to leave Liverpool and go somewhere just to play, where it could be hard work and not enjoyable?’. So I don’t think this guy’s going to leave and it’s good for Liverpool that he doesn’t leave because he’s a great squad player. I don’t think he’s going anywhere." When speaking on Klopp's creative options, the former Reds player said: "I think it’s pretty clear the odd man out in that lot is Lallana. At his best he can give you a little sparkle. Unfortunately, in his time at Liverpool, he’s not really been at his best very often. So right now, for me, he is the one completely on the out."
