Gerrard ready to sign four-year deal
-
Steven Gerrard says he is on the verge of signing a new four-year contract at Liverpool.
The Premier League title dream is over for The Reds following Manchester United’s draw against Arsenal but Gerrard is not letting the dust settle as he looks to confirm his future with Liverpool.
“I am on the verge of signing it now, there are just a couple of minor details, so I am hoping I can sign it before I go off on my holidays,” Gerrard said in The People.
“This is a big contract for me and it’s likely to be my final one. It takes me to 33 but I feel I’m in the prime of my footballing career at the moment.
“I feel confident and strong and I feel really good when I’m out on the pitch. The aim for me now is stay fit for the next four years and try to play as many games as I can and win as many trophies as I can.
“I’m getting greedy when it comes to winning trophies because I know I have to win as many as I can before it’s too late.”
Gerrard is confident Liverpool will learn many lessons from their near miss in the title race this season, to finally bring the league title back to Anfield next season.
“It’s a hard league to win and it’s taught me that you need the experience of being in title races to win them. I think because Chelsea and United both have that experience, maybe that’s where we’ve come unstuck,” added Gerrard.
“Sometimes you just have to go for it and take big risks to win the kind of games that we have drawn. But we’ve learned a lot and I think next year could be our year – I’m really confident about that.”
