Suso set for new Reds deal

Liverpool teenager Suso is on the verge of signing a new, improved contract at Anfield. The 18-year-old, who has broken into the first team this season, is set to complete the deal before the weekend. "He will sign a new contract later which shows our commitment to him and shows he is very happy here and feels he has hope, which is important," manager Brendan Rodgers said. The Spain U-19 international made his first-team debut in September's UEFA Europa League victory over Young Boys and made his first Premier League start nine days later. With surgery on a fractured foot ruling out forward Fabio Borini for up to three months, Suso is expected to get more first-team opportunities. "I have been really impressed. He is a good boy and very keen to learn," Rodgers added. "He is a wonderful technician, he's very bright and a thinking player - which I like. "He needs to add goals to his game but obviously when you are a young player coming into the team you are really just trying to settle in. "But for him he is very creative and he works very hard. He's done very well; there is a long way to go but he's shown excellent promise." FIFA
