Sami and us fans can rejoice as the talented Finn and former Liverpool captain has signed a one year contract extension.
The player who has been reportedly the target of other Premiership clubs including Newcastle United, has had a larger than expected involvement in the team this season.
Speaking to the official website, Sami said:
“I would have had some options to go elsewhere but everything here has been great and I have enjoyed everything about my time here.
“I’m delighted that everyone wants me to stay here. I have a good relationship with everyone at the club, the fans and the players, so it would have been a big wrench for me to leave.
“But I wasn’t thinking about it too much. The most important thing for me was to concentrate on the games and if I played well then maybe the club would want me to stay.”
Sami will be eligible for a testimonial next season in what will be his 10th season at Anfield.
“It’s not so common for a foreign player in this country to spend ten years at one club, so I am delighted to stay with this great club.
“We will see what next year brings. I will keep working hard and keep myself fit and whenever the manager needs me I will be there.”
sami hyppia will be here and retire here
liverpool will really have to get new forwards because torres is the only one who is really scoring along with gerrard so rafa should sell bad players like crouch and get in henry as he is leaving barca he will almost cost rs.30 million pounds please please listen to me
