Liverpool are reportedly set to offer Spanish midfielder Pedro Chirivella a new contract.
The 22-year-old has only played once in the Premier League for the Reds since joining from Valencia in 2013, but he has featured four times this season in cup competitions and was impressive in Sunday's FA Cup win over Everton.
The Spaniard's current deal at Anfield expires at the end of this season, and Sky Sports News reports that Liverpool are prepared to offer him a new contract as a reward for the progress they have seen from him during the current campaign.
Chirivella had been linked with loan moves to the likes of Nottingham Forest in recent weeks, while West Ham United were also thought to be interested in securing his services.
The defensive midfielder is known to want more first-team football opportunities, and it is unclear whether he would get them at Liverpool with Fabinho and Naby Keita above him in the pecking order under Jurgen Klopp.
