Dirk Kuyt set for new Liverpool deal
Dirk Kuyt is set to sign a new contract at Liverpool after a successful run as the Anfield dressing room DJ. [LNB]The Reds are unbeaten in their last seven games and Kenny Dalglish has been given most of the credit for the revival since replacing Roy Hodgson as manager. [LNB]But Dutchman Kuyt is convinced his choice of tunes before heading on to the pitch has played a big part. [LNB] I am the music man: Anfield ace Kuyt has been doing a fine job with his iPod[LNB]He said: 'Ever since I've plugged my iPod into our music system and play the stuff I've collected at home for our games, we've not lost a game. I think we are all a bit superstitious as players. [LNB]'I took over from one of the lads and when they all like it, they let you be in charge. It is like taking a penalty. If you score, they all let you take the next one. [LNB]'What do I play that gets the lads going? Kings of Leon, The Killers and Amy Winehouse. That sort of stuff. Then, after the warming up, I let the physio take over with his iPod for one song.

We feel so united when we hear that.' [LNB]Kuyt's current deal runs out at the end of next season and he has been linked with several clubs across Europe with Inter Milan trying hard to sign him last summer. [LNB]But the 30-year-old forward, a ?9million signing from Feyenoord in 2006, said: 'My contract has one more season to go after this but there are things happening. [LNB]'We have had some talks and I can only say it looks positive. I feel at home in Liverpool and I don't want to leave here.'
