Adam Lallana<\/a> is set to sign a contract extension at Liverpool<\/a> until the end of the season, according<\/a> to The Time’s journalist Paul Joyce. Klopp sees the midfielder as a positive influence on the squad.<\/p>\n

Lallana’s time with the Reds will finish at the end of the current campaign, and Klopp wants the midfielder to end his Liverpool career on a high.<\/p>\n

Adam Lallana set for a Contract Extension Until the end of the Season<\/h2>\n

Lallana Ending His Time With Liverpool On A High<\/h3>\n

According to a report<\/a> in The Independent, Klopp and other high-level Anfield officials want to see Lallana end his time with Liverpool as a Premier League<\/a> champion. The Reds only need six points to win the league.<\/p>\n

Lallana is open to this move by senior leadership and has even suggested accepting reduced terms.<\/p>\n

However, the midfielder will leave at the end of the season. Leicester City<\/a> are reportedly interested in Lallana’s services. Also, several Premier League teams have also shown interest in him.<\/p>\n

Klopp sees Lallana as a leader in the dressing room. He believes the midfielder sets an excellent example for others – especially the youth players.<\/p>\n

“A player with the ability and skills of Adam Lallana is a pure joy to watch when the fitness level is increasing, and he is back on the pitch,” said the German to the official club website<\/a> in 2019.<\/p>\n

“It is clicking for him again. His attitude was always incredible, so why should I doubt him?”<\/p>\n

Limited Game Time<\/h3>\n

Despite the goodwill shown by the Liverpool management, Lallana is not expected to feature frequently. Klopp will instead prioritize youth and new signings such as Takumi Minamino<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is not surprising. Lallana has only featured 15 times this season, with most appearances coming off the bench. However, he has made the most of his limited opportunities.<\/p>\n

Klopp called him “unbelievable<\/a>” after the Reds beat Everton<\/a> in the FA Cup. In addition, he scored one of the iconic Liverpool goals this season.<\/p>\n

Lallana struck a last-minute equaliser against Manchester United<\/a> to keep the Reds unbeaten run going. It also denied their rivals a famous win making it even sweeter.<\/p>\n

The midfielder has failed to reach the heights that his Anfield career promised since his move from Southampton<\/a>. However, he has been a solid Liverpool player who deserves a Premier League medal.<\/p>\n
