Gomez has established himself as a key member of Jurgen Klopp’s squad with centre-back partner with Virgil van Dijk, having conceded just three goals in the Premier League so far this term.
It’s understood Liverpool are working hard to reward Gomez with a new deal but manager Klopp remains tight-lipped over contract talks.
“Contract things, we are famous for not talking about until there is a decision. But Joe is a very important part of the squad and it’s so nice to see,” he said.
“I remember when I came in and everybody told me about him. I knew him but not really well, and everybody told me how good he was when he came to Liverpool.
“I watched the games back from before I came in, and he played mostly as a left-back, and it was good but not that you would say ‘that will change the football world’. Then he got the injury and he has had to fight back. It took a while.
“Now seeing him full of confidence, and being really fit. I know what they were talking about when they told me how good he was, and much more importantly how good he is.
“He has a big future here at Liverpool, no doubt about that.”
But after Liverpool posted a video on Twitter of Gomez after their Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade, many of the Anfield faithful were quick to call for the club to hand him a new contract.
“GIVE HIM A LIFE TIME CONTRACT,” one fan urged on Twitter.
Another said: “CONTRACT HIM.”
“Announce contract,” a third fan pleaded.
