Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that it is important that Roberto Firmino signs a new contract at Anfield.
Firmino made his move from the Premier League, having arrived from Hoffenheim in 2015.
The 26-year-old has scored 13 goals with six assists as Liverpool move up to third in the table
"It is very important for both sides. I think everything we are doing, the way we play, the way we give him the opportunity constantly to play - he deserves that," Klopp said.
"He deserves that because his work-rate is outstanding but it helped him a lot to step up. He became a different player here.
"Other teams can say, 'Hmmm, he's really good,' but it is not sure they will play the same way and use him as a nine or a 10 or they'll use him out on the wings.
"It is important to keep these players who are at a good age and when there is still space for improvement. There is no doubt we want to do that. You can imagine we try to do that. But they all have contracts. It's not that their contracts are ending in the summer."
