Cody Gakpo has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool.
Gakpo penned an improved deal on Saturday that will take his stay with the Premier League champions beyond the previous expiry date at the end of June 2028.
The Netherlands international was a key figure in last season’s title-winning side following his initial arrival from PSV Eindhoven in the January 2023 transfer window.
And Gakpo, who has produced 58 goal involvements in his 131 appearances to date, admits the Reds’ renewed ambitions were a factor in his decision to renew.
He said: “I feel at home, my family feels at home and that’s also a big decision always.
They feel good.
“I’m very happy at the club, a good group, good teammates, so the life around the football itself is very good and I enjoy every moment of it.
I’m very grateful that I can extend.
“Obviously trying to win more things with the club [is my aim], with the team.
“I think we have a very good squad at the moment and we’re trying to build on something special again.
“Obviously last season we won the league, so we have to defend it with the best of our capabilities.
We want to also win the Champions League and the other cups, so that’s what we are going for.
“For me personally, I think I’d like to keep on developing, so every year has to be a better year than the year before.
That’s what we’re aiming for.”
