Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson has revealed that plans are afoot to give midfielder Lucas Leiva a new contract. The Brazil midfielder, who is frequently linked with other clubs, is enjoying his best spell of form since joining in the summer of 2007. "A couple of weeks ago Damien Comolli (director of football strategy) mentioned to me about him wanting to get in touch with Lucas's agent to discuss a new contract, but I can't quite frankly remember where we are," said the Reds boss. "Certainly if you ask me the question `is Lucas welcome at the club and would we like to keep him?' then the answer is a resounding `yes'."
