“W of the season,” a second gushed. While a third replied: “Big congratulations on the contract. Looking forward to following you in the best club in the world!”

“As a massive Liverpool fan. I am delighted for you,” a fourth said. And another added: “Amazing news, glad you’ll be a Red for many years to come! You’re gonna smash it this season!”




Speaking to Liverpool’s in house media, Lundgaard said: “I’m really happy and proud to extend my contract with Liverpool. I think it’s a dream come true again and I really enjoy being here. It was really a no-brainer for me.

“It’s unreal to be in Melwood, the facilities are so good and we have everything we need to perform on the pitch as well. I think that’s great. I enjoy living in the city. I think it’s really nice that everything is so close and we also have the water nearby. I enjoy my time here.”

Lundgaard was named on the bench for Sunday’s Women’s Super League opener with Leicester City at the St Helens Stadium.
