Kostas Tsimikas has signed a new long-term contract which will keep him at Liverpool until 2027.<\/p>\n
It was reported earlier this month that the Greek left-back had agreed to pen fresh terms with the Reds, much to the delight of Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
Though the 27-year-old is firmly behind Andy Robertson in the pecking order, he remains a valued member of Klopp\u2019s squad and looks to be set for a bigger role this season due to their involvement in the Europa League.<\/p>\n
Tsimikas played the full 90 at LASK last Thursday as Liverpool kicked-off their European campaign with a 3-1 win, but he has managed just four minutes in the Premier League so far. <\/p>\n
\u2018I feel very glad to be here to extend my contract. I feel like all the sacrifices I did and other things, the work I put in, [that] everything pays off,\u2019 the defender told Liverpoolfc.com.<\/p>\n
\u2018But this keeps me fully motivated for the rest. As I\u2019ve said in many, many interviews, this team has many, many things to achieve all together and I wanted to be from the first minute a part of it.\u2019<\/p>\n
Signed from Olympiacos for just under \u00a312million back in 2020, Tsimikas has made 63 appearances for Liverpool so far, though only 35 of them have come in the\u00a0Premier League.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Greek Scouser\u2019 won the FA Cup and League Cup in 2022, scoring the winning penalty in the shootout victory in the former.<\/p>\n
Though Liverpool\u2019s team has changed a lot over the past year, they seem to be handling the transition well, with the side undefeated after six league matches and only two points behind leaders Manchester City.<\/p>\n
And Tsimikas is sure he and his teammates can bring more silverware back to Anfield this season, adding: \u2018More success, more work and more trophies.<\/p>\n
\u2018For me it is the most important thing, to win trophies, to be committed in every situation, to be part of all of this.<\/p>\n
\u2018I think this team has very big potential to win more trophies and we will go for it. Everybody, I think, is 100 per cent there [and] focused for the next games and everybody is ready to achieve big things in the future.\u2019<\/p>\n
Up next for Tsimikas and the Reds is a tricky League Cup clash against Championship leaders Leicester City on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
