Liverpool confirm new Adam Lallana deal ahead of Premier League return

Liverpool have agreed on a new short-term deal with Adam Lallana to allow him to complete the Premier League season. The 32-year-old's deal is set to expire on June 30, however, the Reds have decided to keep him at Anfield till the end of the campaign, with the club being on their way to win the Premier League title. Speaking about the deal extension, Lallana told Liverpool.com: “I am really pleased to have the chance to finish this season – it means a lot to me and my family. Now isn’t the moment to review my time here because the focus needs to be on the remaining nine matches and the club finishing the season in the best manner possible. Of course, one of the big personal positives about committing to this short-term extension is that I will now get to say goodbye to the people who mean so much to me in the right way." Meanwhile, the club boss Jurgen Klopp added: “I know how highly sought after Adam is in this moment by other clubs who want him for next season, so for him this is a commitment to us and we are very appreciative to him for it. This is absolutely how it should be, too, because I am so pleased he will be with us to finish the job this season and have the farewell he deserves so much. It is not possible for me to find words in the English language to properly explain the importance of Adam Lallana during my period of being manager of this club."

Adam Lallana has agreed a short-term extension that will enable him to complete the remainder of the 2019-20 season with the club 🙌
