Defender speaks out on Liverpool contract talks
JON FLANAGAN insists isn’t worrying about his contract renewal at Liverpool.
Flanagan was offered a one-year extension at the end of last season to continue his recovery
After nearly two years out with injury the 23-year-old was deemed fit enough to start his second Premier League game in four days at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.
And despite his contract due being to expire at the end of the season, Flanagan is happy to carry on as normal.
“I’m just concentrating on my football, leaving that sort of thing to my agent,” Flanagan said.
“The hardest time was after one operation, finding out you’ve got to have another one and it’s going to put you back six to nine months.
“It’s hard seeing the lads go out on to the training pitch when you’re stuck on your own in the gym, but you have to stay upbeat, you have to stay positive.
“Growing up all I wanted to do is play for Liverpool and now the days are here and I just want them to continue really.”
