There were rumors going on in the media about Liverpool handing Mignolet a new contract. Unfortunately, the rumors have turned into a reality.
Today, the Merseysiders have officially (Liverpool website) confirmed that the Belgian goalie has signed a new long term contract to extend his stay at Anfield.
The former Sunderland goal keeper signed for the Reds before the start of 2013-14 campaign and since then he has reached double figures for clean sheets in every season. Last year, Mignolet kept the highest number of Premier League clean sheets.
Ex Reds’ Boss Brendan Rodgers stated that Mignolet was “outstanding” (Liverpool Echo). Moreover, current Liverpool boss Klopp recently claimed that the Belgian star is one of the most “smartest” goalies (The Guardian) he has worked with.
Not sure if every Liverpool fan agrees with the statements made by Rodgers and Klopp. Mignolet is a great shot stopper, however, his positioning and decision making has let the team down on numerous occasions.
Nevertheless, now that Mignolet has signed a new contract, he really needs to step up big time and prove the doubters wrong.
Agreed – Liverpool Seal Deal with ‘Outstanding’ & 'Smart' Star
