Having undergone a change of ownership and management during a turbulent campaign, Liverpool appear to be moving in the right direction again under new boss Kenny Dalglish, who was appointed Roy Hodgson's successor on a temporary basis in January.

Kuyt has already spoken of his desire to see Dalglish keep the job beyond the end of the season, and the Dutchman is also keen to stay on at Liverpool.

"My contract has one more season to go after this but there are things happening," Kuyt said.

"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.

"It has been a difficult time for everyone at the club with the changes that have happened since last summer but now I can sense something good is happening - I think Liverpool are on the way back."
