Liverpool have announced plans to move their first-team training base from Melwood to Kirkby.

The Reds' academy is already based at Kirkby and the club are seeking approval for £50million of work to bring together the senior and junior teams on one site.

The plans also include new and improved football pitches and sports facilities for the area as well as the redevelopment of local infrastructure.

A public consultation is being held next month for local residents and businesses to discuss the plans.

To enable the redevelopment at Kirkby, with plans including a new combined training centre, Liverpool would need to purchase land adjacent to the current site.
