'I'm fighting tears' - Emotional Wijnaldum says farewell to Liverpool as he looks towards 'new adventure'

The midfielder is set to leave the Merseysiders after five years as his contract expires this summer

Liverpool favourite Georginio Wijnaldum had to choke back the tears on Sunday as he played his last game at Anfield.

The Netherlands international is out of contract in the summer, and received a rousing ovation when he was taken off in the 77th minute for James Milner.

His Reds career ended on a high, with the hosts beating Crystal Palace 2-0 to seal a place in next year's Champions League.
