| The Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, has confirmed he wants to keep his captain, Steven Gerrard, at Anfield. The 34-year-old Gerrard, whose deal expires in June, had raised the possibility of leaving his hometown club with no new deal on the table. | |
| However, speaking after his side’s 1-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle on Saturday, Rodgers said: “It’s quite straightforward. I had a meeting with Steven’s representative explaining the situation. I very much want him to be a part of what we are doing here. He’s been a brilliant captain for me. I relayed that to the ownership. | |
| “I’m sure he will go away with that and hopefully his representative will organise a deal. Steven is very much part of what I’m doing here. He’s a unique player, a unique talent.” | “I’m sure he will go away with that and hopefully his representative will organise a deal. Steven is very much part of what I’m doing here.
