Philippe Coutinho has signed a new long-term deal with Liverpool, the Premier League club have announced.
The Brazilian playmaker, an £8.5million singing from Inter Milan in January 2013, has emerged as a key man for the club since his arrival at Anfield.
He has been in outstanding form for the Reds in recent weeks and has been hailed by manager Brendan Rodgers as a future world class star.
Now the 22-year-old has handed Rodgers a major boost by putting pen-to-paper on a new and improved contract which ties him to the Merseyside club until 2020.
Coutinho, whose previous deal was due to expire in 2018, told liverpoolfc.com: "I'm really happy. It's a dream come true playing for this great club and being part of this squad.
"This club is great and the fans have always supported me, so I've been eager to sign this new deal since conversations started. Today is a very happy day."
