Joe Gomez has revealed that it was a ‘very easy decision’ to commit his long-term future to Liverpool.
Gomez signed a new five-year contract on Friday just weeks after making his long-awaited Reds comeback after 14 months on the sidelines.
The defender originally joined Liverpool from Charlton in July 2015 but was struck down by an ACL injury during the opening week of Jurgen Klopp’s tenure.
Jurgen Klopp moved quickly to seal the 19-year-old’s place at Anfield with an improved extension which will tie him to the club until summer 2022.
“It was a very easy decision,” Gomez told liverpoofc.com.
“It is a great club and when it was mentioned about me extending my time here, it’s not something I had to think very long about.
“I’m very happy it’s done now and I’ll just look to push on.
“It’s massive. It means a lot to me – it’s a massive gesture from the club to show that trust and faith in me.
“That’s why it was so important I did the same and done it so quickly, because I’m very happy here.
“I’ve loved living here and playing here and learning under the new manager, so it was a quick decision.”
