Liverpool’s commitment to nurturing young talent remains as strong as ever, with the club’s Academy continuing to produce promising stars ready to make their mark at senior level.

The club has already confirmed a comprehensive redevelopment of their Academy site in Kirkby.

The project, backed by Fenway Sports Group (FSG), will see the construction of a state-of-the-art indoor dome built over the existing main pitch and connected to the current Academy building.

This revolutionary addition will provide Liverpool with their first full-size indoor training facility, addressing a long-standing disadvantage compared to European competitors.

The redevelopment will also feature enhanced medical and sports science facilities, reflecting the club’s commitment to providing world-class support for young players.

A new grass pitch will replace the current artificial outdoor surface, complete with a 500-capacity spectator stand that will become the centerpiece for Academy matches.

And the club is continuing its focus on academy talent.

Liverpool FC have officially confirmed that academy defender Emmanuel Airoboma has signed his first professional contract on Wednesday.

He joined the Academy at just 11 years old after being scouted from local grassroots football in Merseyside and has steadily climbed the ranks at the club.

Last season he was a mainstay in the U18s, captaining the side on several occasions and earning rave reviews for his disciplined defending and ability to progress play out from the back.

Ahead of the current campaign he was promoted to Rob Page’s U21s.
