Joe Gomez has made nine appearances for Liverpool since joining in 2015

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has signed a new five-year contract.

The 19-year-old centre-back, who signed from Charlton for £3.5m in 2015, has recommitted until 2020.

Gomez has made five Premier League starts for the Reds and nine overall, including two in the FA Cup this season.

The youngster is set to feature in Liverpool's fourth-round clash with Wolves on Saturday lunchtime.

Gomez said: "It was a very easy decision. It is a great club and when it was mentioned about me extending my time here, it's not something I had to think very long about.

"It's massive. It means a lot to me - it's a massive gesture from the club to show that trust and faith in me.

"That's why it was so important I did the same and done it so quickly, because I'm very happy here. I've loved living here and playing here and learning under the new manager, so it was a quick decision."
