Anfield stay suits Kewell

Liverpool midfielder Harry Kewell admits he would be happy to see out the rest of his career with Liverpool.

The 28-year-old Australia winger made his first appearance of the season for the Reds last weekend when he came off the bench against Fulham.

Spot on: Harry Kewell scores against Charlton during their 2 - 2 draw

He followed that up by scoring from the penalty spot to earn a 2-2 draw with Charlton in yesterday's final Premiership game of the season and is now desperate to put his injury nightmare behind him.

His current deal expires at the end of next season and he is ready to commit himself to the Anfield club for the remainder of his playing days.

He told SBS: "If it came around that I had to sign another contract for another five (seasons), for the rest of my life then I will, because it's a fantastic club."

Meanwhile Kewell, who is battling for a place in the Champions League final squad against AC Milan, has also expressed his desire to play for his country in their Asian Cup campaign in July.

Kewell is targeting a friendly against Uruguay on June 2 before securing a place in the Asian Cup squad when the tournament kicks off in July.

He said: "I've rested for 11 months. I just want to start playing football, competitive games and get back into the action again.

"I've missed that and if everything goes well and Liverpool give me the go ahead, I would love to play in the Asian Cup with Australia, because I think it's a great opportunity."
