Suso set to sign new deal

By Olivavu, Thu 18/10/12 at 18:08

Spanish youngster Suso is set to sign a new deal to keep him at Anfield.

The 18-year-old, signed from Cadiz in 2009, made his senior debut in the 5-3 Europa League win over Swiss club Young Boys on September 20th, adn has made three Premier League appearances for the club.

Manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to secure him long-term following some assured performances.

The Spain Under-19 international, who can play in an attacking role, is likely to get more opportunities to impress following news of Fabio Borini's three month layoff with a broken bone in his foot.

Rodgers spoke highly of the young Spanish midfielder, stating that he is a big part of future plans at Anfield.

"I've been really impressed by young Suso," he said. "He's a good boy as well. He's very keen to learn. He'll sign a new contract, which shows our commitment to him and shows that he's very happy here and has got hope, which is very important. He's a wonderful technician.

"He's very bright. He's a thinking player, which I like. He needs to add goals to his game, but when you're a young player coming into the team, you're really just trying to settle in. He's very creative and he works very hard, so he's done very well. He's got a long way to go, but he's shown excellent progress."

Outstanding news, this gives us a midfield to fear in years to come - Suso, Lucas and Allen - and we have others to rotate as well. Splendid.

SIGN on the dotted line. I just think with this guy the sky is the limit, he can be one of the best in the world, but obviously a long long way to go.

I've been really impresed with what I have seen of him so far. I wasn't sure he was ready for the step up but he looks right at home in the first team. Hopefully he will sign a 4 year contract or longer.

I have to say I had my doubts that the lad was ready for the first team but I'm glad he has dispelled those doubts. Signing these young players is good business, especially the foreign ones. Obviously it means at this moment in time they are happy to stay and play for the club. But what it also means is that if they get their head turned by the likes of Real or Barca, we can get a decent price for them. Suso could have walked away at the end of the season for nowt.

Brilliant news with him signing. Now he has the chance in the coming weeks to establish himself in the team starting with Reading a goal would do no harm, honest!
