Liverpool have been busy making some key behind the scenes appointments recently.

Of course, the blockbuster news is that the Reds are still actively looking for the right man to replace Jurgen Klopp as manager.

With as many as five candidates currently said to be in the tunning, Liverpool have work to do to whittle down their list and find the perfect candidate.

The man making that decision is seemingly Richard Hughes, the Reds new sporting director.

Big boss Michael Edwards will surely have say as well, while Hughes has also brought in from Bournemouth.

And if rumours were to be believed, Liverpool were targeting one more key backroom team member.

Somewhat surprisingly, rumours started to surface that Liverpool were looking to make yet another hire to their recruitment team.

With Hughes said to be an ‘elite level operator’ and Michael Edwards’ qualities well known, there didn’t seem a need for this.

Nevertheless, there were claims in the press that the Reds were targeting Southampton director of football Jason Wilcox to work in the new structure.

This would seem at odds with the people Liverpool already have in place.

And, thankfully, journalist Fabrizio Romano took to his Daily Briefing this morning to dismiss the rumours of Wilcox joining the Reds.
