LIVERPOOL - Liverpool FC has announced that defender Luke Chambers is extending his stay on Merseyside, a relationship that has been in place since the youngster was 6 years old.


Though Liverpool did not announce how long the new contract will run, it was speculated that the young England youth international has signed on a deal which runs until 2025.


The youngster recently impressed during the club’s tour of Southeast Asia, making appearances against Manchester United in Bangkok, Thailand, and Crystal Palace in Singapore.


Kostas Tsimikas singled out the 18-year-old for praise on the tour: “This kid impress me a lot. He’s a very, very good player and always very focused in the training.”


“For me, my personal advice for him is to never stop dreaming and never stop working hard, because in football that’s the most important thing. I’m really sure the future is bright for him.”


Chambers played for the under-19s in the UEFA Youth League and the under-21s in the EFL Trophy, but was primarily a starter for the Liverpool under-18s last season. He played in 31 games, registering seven goals and two assists for the U-18s side in the Premier League U18s. 


Like vice-captain James Milner, Chambers also possess a tremendous ability at scoring penalties. On top of that, he also posseses the ability of deadball situations much like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson and Tsimikas.


Able to play left-back and centre-back, Chambers also played for the England Under-19 side this summer, participating in four games and helping England win the U19 European Championships.
