The 23-year-old joined Liverpool on a free transfer from Tottenham in 2014 and has made 18 first-team appearances for the club.

But according to the Liverpool Echo, Stewart's talents have not gone unnoticed with a host of clubs interested in securing his signature in the January transfer window.
The Reds rejected a £6million bid for Stewart last summer but Swansea, West Brom, Brighton, Newcastle and Aston Villa are all apparently keen on signing him.

But the Liverpool Echo claim Klopp has outlined Stewart is not for sale and will rebuff any further attempts to try and lure him away from Anfield.
Stewart's chances have been limited this season with two starts and five substitute appearances.
But he is expected to feature in Sunday's FA Cup third round tie with Plymouth Argyle at Anfield (1:30pm).
