The Club are keen to redevelop the Kirby site, ending their stay at Melwood which began in the 1950s.

Boss Jurgen Klopp revealed last summer that he hoped to bring the academy closer to the first team – Melwood and the Kirby complex are five miles apart.

The total cost of the project, which has been agreed with the local council, is an estimated £50 million, with the Melwood land being sold and turned into 160 family homes.

The revamped complex will be designed by KSS, a London based architects who worked on the Olympic Stadium, Twickenham, Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge and Tottenham’s new training complex.

Sevilla are on a great run of form and sit third in La Liga, just three points behind Real Madrid. Their shocking title chase has prompted their head coach Jorge Sampaoli to be linked to the FC Barcelona job this week.

Big money summer signing Islam Slimani remains out for Leicester as he struggles to overcome a groin injury, leaving Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy to start upfront.
