Daniel Sturridge has agreed a new five-year deal with Liverpool which will keep the striker at the club till 2019.
The 25-year-old put pen to paper on the new deal with the Reds which could be worth up to £150,000-a-week for the former Chelsea forward.
The club tweeted: ‘#LFC are delighted to confirm that Daniel Sturridge has committed his long-term future to the club #SturridgeLFC’.
Sturridge still had four years on his current contract that announced his £12 million arrival from Chelsea, but Liverpool has decided to reward his progress with a lucrative contract.
Sturridge said this in Liverpool’s official website: ‘It feels great. It’s a big, big day in my life to commit to this club and to give the club my best years, which are ahead of me.
‘I am thankful for the opportunity and that is the reason I committed my future. Everyone has been great with me, from the fans to the staff to the players, so it was an easy decision. I’m happy with how everything is going.’
He also believes that his bright start to life at Anfield is just the beginning of things to come.
He added: ‘I may have had some good games and scored some goals, but literally this is the beginning in terms of what I can show. I don’t feel I’ve shown really what I can do as a footballer.’
