Liverpool will speed up plans to revamp Anfield - and are already speaking to companies about sponsoring their new stand.
Officials at the club were given outline permission to extend the Anfield Road End when they applied for planning approval for the now-completed Main Stand.
They have until September 2019 to submit detailed plans for the next phase of the development, which is expected to take the capacity above 60,000.
However, the success of the extension of the Main Stand, which has triggered a staggering rise in matchday income of £12million, has prompted them to press ahead on the next phase of redevelopment at their iconic home this summer.
