Liverpool have announced Adam Lallana has put pen to paper on a new long-term contract to become one of the club’s top earners.
Lallana, 28, is now into his third season at Liverpool after making a near-£30m move to Anfield from boyhood club Southampton in 2014 but this has easily been his most impressive at the club.
The 28-year-old, who was crowned England’s player of the year for 2016, has cemented his place as one of Liverpool’s most important players under Jurgen Klopp and the Reds have moved to reward him with a new deal.
“I’m very proud and feel quite humbled by the show of faith from the club and the manager in particular,” Lallana told the club’s official website.
“Signing for a club like Liverpool is obviously a big thing – but to re-sign shows you’ve obviously contributed enough that the people who make the decisions want you to stay longer.
“This is a really good place to be at the moment and, for a player who wants to be part of something special, I can’t think of a better club to commit your future to.
“We have a brilliant squad of players who are only going to get better the longer we are together. We have a world-class manager and coaching staff.
“And because it’s Liverpool there is that added x-factor of the supporters and what success would mean to them when we achieve it here. I’m just delighted that I’m going to be part of it for even longer.”
Only Sadio Mane (15) has scored or assisted more goals for Liverpool in the Premier League this season than Lallana (14).
