Sissoko signs new four-year Anfield deal

MOHAMED SISSOKO has become the latest player to pledge his future to Liverpool after signing a new four-year contract.

The Mali midfielder, 22, had been linked with a summer move away from Anfield but has joined captain Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Xabi Alonso and Jose Reina in penning a new deal.

After signing the paperwork that will tie him to the club until 2011, Sissoko said: “It was never in my thoughts to leave Liverpool. I read about the speculation linking me with other clubs but I am already at a big, big club and it’s an honour for me to be able to call myself a Liverpool player.”
