Reina set for new Liverpool deal

Jose Reina is set to sign a new deal at Liverpool as he still believes he can fulfil his dream of winning the Premier League with the Reds.

The Merseysiders have not won the title for 20 years and another disappointing season saw them fall out of the race well before Christmas.

Spain goalkeeper Reina, 27, has become a sought-after property after proving himself one of the best goalkeepers in the top flight.

However, he is more than happy to commit his long-term future to the club.

"It's really close and it (signing a new contract) is because they were good to me and I am grateful," said the Spain international.

"You will see something in a month or so. I am happy here and the club is happy with me so I have no problem at all.

"Talking to my family we believe there is no better place to be and that is why we will be here a bit longer, much longer.

"There is nothing apart from winning the league with Liverpool once which makes me feel excited.

"That is a dream to get through and hopefully in a short period of time we will see it come true."
