Liverpool goalkeeper delighted after signing new two-year deal

Liverpool’s goalkeeper Adrián says it’s a privilege to extend his contract with the Reds at Anfield.

 The 34-year-old Spaniard will remain at Anfield as a backup to first-choice Alisson Becker after agreeing on fresh terms with the six times Champions Leagues winners.

The erstwhile West Ham United goalie who joined the Reds in August 2019 has also signed a new two-year deal with the club and will again compete with the Irish international Caoimhin Kelleher for the role of deputy to Alisson Becker, the Red’s first-choice keeper.

Andrian’s current Liverpool deal had been due to expire at the end of this month, but the 34-year-old will now remain for at least another season after agreeing fresh terms.
