Liverpool will 'try to tie down four key players with long-term contracts'... but they may 'struggle to keep Joe Gomez' without the promise of regular playtime

Liverpool are hoping to convince Joe Gomez he has a role to play in Jurgen Klopp's side, as the Reds look to keep four key players.

Gomez has shown himself to be an accomplished defender and his versatility makes him an important player to Klopp, but the solidity of Joel Matip, Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahim Konate has limited the 25-year-old's playtime in his preferred central position.

After establishing himself as a regular from 2017-20, Gomez has played just 15 league games in the past two seasons due to injuries and competition for places.
