Joe Gomez signs new contract with Liverpool until 2027

has announced that

has put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the club that runs until the summer of 2027.

The 25-year-old center-back joined Liverpool from Charlton in 2015. He has played in 142 matches for the Reds and has won 6 trophies including Premier League and the Champions League.

Gomez was linked to

this summer but in the end, decided to extend his contract with Liverpool.

"It's obviously a special moment for me and my family,"

he told Liverpool's website.

"Another one that you dream of as a kid and one I don't take for granted.

"It is an unbelievable place to be; in my eyes, probably one of the best - if not the best - clubs in the world at the minute. The opportunity to extend my stay here was an easy decision to make, really.

"Obviously, I have been here quite a while now, but in the grand scheme of things I still feel young and, as you say, the best years are ahead of me. I have got more to learn and the time to do that.

"I think I have the platform here to do it with the manager and the coaching staff around me and my teammates, to make sure the best years are ahead.

"I think as a group, the sky is the limit. We want to go one, if not two, better than last season and aim for it all.

"We definitely have the ability to do that and the belief is there, it's just about us taking it one game at a time, like we did last season, and just being true to ourselves, playing the way we play under the gaffer's guidance.

"Who is to say we can't go on to do more than we did last season?"
