Kuyt, who was instrumental in helping his country reach Sunday's World Cup final against Spain, had previously been reluctant to stay with the Reds.

However, he had a change of heart after Roy Hodgson took charge of Liverpool early this month to succeed Rafa Benitez at the helm.

"Of course I want to stay," said Kuyt."Liverpool is a great club with a great history.

"Unfortunately in my four years I haven't won anything but hopefully in the future, I will still have that chance.

"We will have to see what happens but hopefully the manager wants me to stay.

"I spoke to people at the club and I know he wants to speak with me. But it is very difficult at the moment because we are so busy and focus on what lies ahead."
