Liverpool have announced their plans to switch their training base from Melwood to Kirkby in the near future.
The Merseyside giants plan to build a £50m state-of-art training complex at Kirkby by 2019. The complex will be the training base for both the first team and the youth set up.
Melwood has been Liverpool’s training base for more almost seven decades, but the Premier League outfit have decided to sell it off in order to fund 160 family homes.
The club will look to purchase around 14 acres of land around Kirkby and expand their training base to around 60 acres.
