England midfielder Steven Gerrard is ready to pledge his long-term future to Liverpool.
Gerrard made the announcement in Bangkok ahead of the match against Thailand tomorrow following speculation linking him to a move to Chelsea.
"I'm happy at Liverpool and the club is happy with me. I'm ready to commit myself to the club's future and I'm sure that's going to happen," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"I've been at Liverpool all my career and never thought about playing for anyone else.
"All I want to do is concentrate on playing for this club."
Gerrard's pledge is bound to delight manager Gerard Houllier, who believes striker Michael Owen is also keen to sign a new deal.
Like Owen, Gerrard has only two years left on his current contract.
It is understood negotiations with representatives of the duo are ongoing.
