Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard calls on Emre Can to be "more patient" with the Merseyside club.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has urged Emre Can to commit his future to the Merseyside outfit.

The midfielder, whose contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season, has been coy about his current predicament.

Juventus have been heavily linked with a move for the Germany international, and with the January transfer window now closed, Can will be free to leave Liverpool in the summer for free if he does not pen fresh terms.

"I think Liverpool have made him a better player and in Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff I think they are perfect for him," Gerrard told BT Sport.

"I can't make decisions for Emre Can but for me, in his shoes, I would be a bit more patient with Liverpool and I would hang on. I think Liverpool - the club and the fans - have a lot of belief in him.

"I think you can see that he's been asked the question many times and if he had decided he was going to stay at Liverpool, I think everyone would know that by now.

"You still have that little bit of hope as a Liverpool fan that he might change his mind but for me, for it to go to the back end of January it's a concern."

Can signed for the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen for around £10m in 2014.
