Liverpool cult-hero tipped to pen fresh deal to extend Merseyside stint

Kostas Tsimikas is set to sign a new deal at Liverpool

Liverpool fans have something to cheer about as Kostas Tsimikas sits poised to ink a new contract. The Greek international has reportedly agreed to a two-year extension, extending his stay at Anfield until the summer of 2027. This development serves as a testament to Tsimikas’ significant contributions since his arrival from Olympiacos three years ago.

The news of his contract extension is as per The Athletic [ subscription required ]. Tsimikas was initially brought in to provide stiff competition for Liverpool’s first-choice left-back, Andy Robertson. Over the past few seasons, he has demonstrated his worth, accumulating 62 appearances across all competitions for the club. Notably, he etched his name into Liverpool’s history by scoring the winning penalty in the dramatic 2022 FA Cup final shootout against Chelsea at the iconic Wembley Stadium.

While the 27-year-old has made just one substitute appearance so far in the current season, his presence in Jurgen Klopp’s squad remains highly valued. The manager is keen on retaining Tsimikas’s services, recognising the depth he brings to the squad.

Tsimikas’s journey from a promising signing to a pivotal member of the squad has been remarkable. His ability to step in when needed, whether as a replacement or as competition for Robertson, has provided Liverpool with an extra layer of defensive solidity and attacking threat down the left flank.

Liverpool fans can look forward to witnessing more of Tsimikas’s contributions in the years to come. His extension adds to the stability and depth of the squad, crucial factors in the club’s pursuit of domestic and international honours.

As the season progresses, Tsimikas’s presence will surely continue to be felt, providing Jurgen Klopp with tactical flexibility and the assurance that he has a reliable option on the left side of defence. With the contract negotiations nearing completion, Liverpool can focus on their on-field endeavours, aiming for more silverware.

In a sport where squad depth is often on the test, retaining players like Tsimikas, who can seamlessly slot into the starting lineup when needed, is vital. The Greek left-back’s commitment to Liverpool is evident, and his extended stay is a positive sign for the club and the supporters. And especially for a club like ours, that lacks a lot of depth, knowing that we have someone as skilful as Tsimikas and Robbo to play in one position gives us a lot of assurance.
