Steven Gerrard has today pledged his future to Liverpool after transfer rumours he was on his way out of the club.
The Liverpool captain was reported to be leaving Anfield this summer after a disappointing season saw Liverpool finish 7th below Spurs, Manchester City and Aston Villa in the race for a Champions League spot.
"I made it clear that I simply needed to concentrate on the World Cup and then have a decent holiday with my family," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.
"I wanted the chance to meet Roy Hodgson privately and having done so, I'm very impressed with his plans for the future.
I've only returned to training today at Melwood with some of the other World Cup players, but I can't wait for the new season to start."
Gerrard has also spoken on the signing of Joe Cole claiming it to be a fantastic signing for the Mersey side Giants.
"He's proved his ability over many years in the Premier League, sometimes against us - so it will be fantastic to play alongside him in a red shirt for Liverpool."
