Brendan Rodgers: 'Suso will sign new Liverpool contract'

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Spanish youngster Suso will put pen to paper on a new contract at Anfield.

There were questions over the 18-year-old's position at the Merseyside outfit but following the teen's emergence in the first team, Rodgers has insisted that a new deal is imminent.

"He will sign a new contract later which shows our commitment to him and shows he is very happy here," said Rodgers.

Suso is expected to start against Reading this weekend due to the three-month absence of striker Fabio Borini.
