Emre Can is ready to commit his future to Liverpool by penning a new long-term contract.

The German midfielder only has 18 months to run on his current deal but says negotiations between the club and his agent over an extension are progressing well.

Can, who cost the Reds £9.75million from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2014, was hampered by an ankle injury earlier in the season, but has forced his way back into Jurgen Klopp's side in recent weeks.

"Yes, the club have spoken to my agent," Can said.

"The talks are going very good.

"I have one-and-a-half years left. I am still under contract and it is my agent's work (to sort it out).

"I am very happy here at Liverpool."

Can is hoping that his form for the Reds over the coming months will help him win back his place in the Germany squad.

He was overlooked by Joachim Low for their World Cup qualifier with San Marino on November 11, which is followed by a friendly against Italy four days later.

"Yes, getting back in there is a big motivation for me," Can added.

"I don’t know why I’m not in the squad this time. Maybe the manager will call me or send me a message.

"I have to work hard here in the training sessions and in the games and hopefully that will help me get back into the squad."
