Liverpool FC’s new AXA Training Centre in 30 new photos

Liverpool have confirmed their new £50 million training ground in Kirkby will be known as the AXA Training Centre, as well as releasing behind-the-scenes images of the site.

Jurgen Klopp and his players will move into their new home during the November international break, with the Kirkby site encompassing all age groups in one base.

This will not only improve the first team’s facilities but also smooth the pathway from the academy to the senior setup, which should give Klopp a boost as he looks to nurture the next generation.

On Tuesday morning, the club confirmed an expanded partnership with insurance firm AXA that will see the new training ground named the AXA Training Centre.

Pending a planning application with the Knowsley Council, new signage will be put in place at the Kirkby site to reflect this, with Liverpool already releasing artist impressions of how this will look:

In September, Klopp described the new site as “the headquarters of Scouse football,” stressing the importance of bring young, local talent through.

“Bringing it together is the step in the future, which we are all convinced about,” he continued.
