JONES KOPS DEAL

CURTIS JONES is “buzzing” after signing a new longterm contract at Liverpool.

The academy graduate, 21, has made 81 appearances since his debut for Jurgen Klopp’s side in January 2019.

Jones is now committed to Anfield until 2027. The deal supersedes a previous contract signed in July 2020, reflecting his increasing importance to the Kop squad.

The midfielder, who joined Liverpool when he was six, said: “First of all, I want to thank the coaching staff for having belief in me and giving me the chance.

“And of course for me, I’m over the moon, I’m buzzing. It was an easy thing (to decide to renew).

“It’s my boyhood club, I’m a Scouser. I’ve supported the club my whole life. I’m buzzing and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

Jones has been part of a Liverpool squad which has won the Premier League, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Community Shield.
