Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt is hoping to have some positive news regarding his contract extension in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
Although the Holland international has over another year to run on his Anfield deal, talks are under way to extend his Merseyside stay.<\/p>\n
Kuyt is a popular figure having amassed over 220 appearances for the club following his 2006 switch from Feyenoord.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old is pleased with how things are progressing and believes a resolution could be found inside the next two weeks.<\/p>\n
“It is already looking positive and hopefully I will have some good news in one or two weeks,” confirmed Kuyt.
Goal<\/p>\n
Kuyt was Liverpool’s hero in the Europa League with a late headed goal in Thursday’s 1-0 success over Sparta Prague.<\/p>\n
It was Kuyt’s first goal since the middle of January when he netted in the Merseyside derby and he thinks he was overdue.<\/p>\n
“Although we created the chances, we found it hard to score,” he continued.<\/p>\n
“It was kind of a hard game and I felt we should have finished it off earlier.<\/p>\n
“But at the end of the day, winning is all that counts.<\/p>\n
“I thought it was about time for me to score a goal. It has been a while.”<\/p>\n
Euro record<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher clocked up his 137th European appearance against Prague and he won has praise from manager Kenny Dalglish.<\/p>\n
That means that Carragher has now played more European games than any other British player, a record Dalglish believes the Kop legend should be proud of.<\/p>\n
“That record sums up his contribution to the football club,” said the Reds manager. “He has been a magnificent servant to this club.<\/p>\n
“He has been here since he was 12 and for him to walk away with that record of playing more European games is a credit to him and shows the success we’ve have over the years.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
