It is suggested that his current deal, which runs until 2021, will have a further two years added to it when the deal is completed, with the option of another one.

This update has thrilled plenty of Liverpool fans, who are excited about the idea of the Dutchman having a longer stay at Anfield.

Liverpool fans have been impressed by the 29-year-old, with one calling him a “big game player”, something that was proven to be correct when he scored against Atletico Madrid with a brilliant header – even if that match did eventually end in a loss.

Looking at his overall campaign, he has made 33 starts and three substitute appearances across the Premier League and Champions League for Jurgen Klopp, scoring five goals.

He has also shown his worth in general play in the Premier League with averages of 1 tackle, 1 clearance and 1.2 dribbles per game, alongside a pass success rate of 90.9%.

Some fans have offered the opinion that this even should have been done earlier, with one saying it is “about time it got sorted”.

However, it seems as though Liverpool will be successfully avoiding this awkward scenario.

Meanwhile, James Pearce questioned a comment made by Klopp.
