Adam Lallana insists he’s not thinking about his Liverpool future, despite strong suggestions he won’t be given a new contract at Anfield. The England international’s current deal with the Merseysiders, whom he joined in the summer of 2014, expires at the end of the season. Lallana’s lack of first-team football has fuelled suggestions he could leave Anfield this month for a cut-price fee or in the summer on a free transfer. Despite having an unclear future, Lallana insists he’s fully focused on helping end Liverpool’s long wait to lift the league title. “It’s easy to keep working,” Lallana told Off The Ball. “I’m enjoying playing for the best team in the world, it’s as simple as that. “Whatever my contract situation is, that will be going on in the background.
