FOOTBALL Liverpool Agger - 0

The 24-year old, who joined the Reds from Brondby in 2006, has played 76 times and scored six goals, including his recent long-range effort against Blackburn.

Manager Rafael Benitez told the club's official website: "Daniel is still young, but with great quality and will be a very important player for us in the years ahead."

He added: "This is extremely good news for Liverpool moving forward and demonstrates our intention to build on the progress we have already made this season.

"I'm sure there were many other clubs monitoring the situation closely, but throughout our discussions, Daniel made it clear that he wanted to stay at Liverpool and achieve success here.

"I'm delighted we've secured his future at Anfield."

Agger joins team-mates Steven Gerrard and Dirk Kuyt in committing their long-term future to the club.

  5. So Gerrard a reputed world class player but after 26­ shots on target he failed to make his count, pity the­ moderate world midfielders, lets see if he is at­ Anfield or a local nick next season.
