Xabi Alonso has welcomed the news that Steven Gerrard will be staying at Anfield. The popular play maker revealed that the mood at Melwood hasn’t been good over the last few days but spirits have been lifted at the news. He said:

"It is great news for everyone in Liverpool," says Xabi. "Steve is everything, a symbol for the team, and although nobody is indispensable we would have started the new campaign on the wrong foot.

"Gerrard is wanted by all and I do not believe that it was a question of money for all those involved. In the year I have been at Liverpool I have come to understand what is expected, in particular in the league.

"These last few days the team did not train with the same joy, but now I have noticed the spirit is back."
