LONDON. December 21. KAZINFORM Footballer Luis Suarez has signed a new four and a half year contract at Liverpool after a scorching start to the season. He's scored 17 goals in 11 games for the club.
Despite rumours of a possible end of season transfer, the 26-year-old Uruguayan said he was "proud" and "delighted" to extend his contract.
"I think that, after the summer, it's a difficult time," he said. "But they helped me for the comeback to play and I think when the supporters help you outside the pitch you try your best and ... and they are happy."
The striker's original deal was set to expire in 2016. The new contract will see him earn nearly €240,000 per week over the next four years.
Suarez, who joined the Reds in January 2011, recently netted The Football Supporters' Federation Player of the Year Award.
