“But I’m so proud to wear this shirt every day of my life.

“This club made me better as a person, as a player, I have two kids born in Liverpool.

“I don’t have one specific moment I’d say was a highlight, I think these 10 years have been a very good 10 years.”

Lucas made 31 appearances for the club last season, scoring one in the Premier League.
