Kevin Stewart: Taking the positives

Liverpool midfielder Kevin Stewart has revealed his intentions to stay and fight for a place at Liverpool next season.

Stewart amassed just 16 minutes of Premier League action last season, appearing in nine games across all competitions.

Brighton & Hove Albion, Stoke City and Burnley have all been credited with interest in the 23-year-old.

However, Stewart is keeping his focus fully on his career at Anfield: “Trying to break through, trying to stay fit and trying to be ready for when I’m called upon [is my aim].

“Next season there are going to be a lot of games, especially if we qualify for the Champions League.

“So I just want to keep fit in the summer, work hard and then see where the season takes us. That’s the thing that keeps me going—I’ve done it before, so I know it’s possible.

“I see the players I train with and they’re amazing players I’m competing with and playing with, but I will keep believing because I’ve been through it before.”
