Luis Suarez signs new contract with Liverpool

Liverpool has pulled off a coup by tying up star striker, Luis Suarez, on a new deal that will keep him at Anfield until 2018. The 26-year-old Uruguayan arrived at the club from Ajax in 20011 and is currently the Premier League's top scorer with 17 strikes in just 11 starts. The deal confounds observers who expected negotiations to continue until the end of the season, to allow Suarez to wait and see whether or not Liverpool could land a Champions League place. The club, however, confirmed on Friday that the player had signed the new contract. You can now buy Liverpool football tickets securely online.
