One Liverpool player has agreed a brand new role and contract with the club.

This is a new dynasty that is tailored more in their image, and a gradual stepping away from the Jurgen Klopp era, which was undeniably successful at Liverpool.

Nonetheless, new ideas and fresh faces are always welcome in order to inspire an evolution and that is what Hughes will be wanting to achieve.

These changes do not just involve players coming and going. We have seen a number of staff changes as well with the likes of Xavi Valero and Giovanni van Bronckhorst appointed in prominent positions in Arne Slot's backroom.

Not to mention it's not just the first team making changes but the academy as well. Notably Barry Lewtas, the club's U21 coach and Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, the club's U18 coach have both left the club.

They have been replaced by Rob Page at U21 level, and Simon Wiles at U18 level. The duo come with impressive resumes. Page achieved a lot of success with Wales at senior level and he was very effective at promoting young Welsh talent into the national team.

Wiles has worked at Salford City's first team and was poached from Manchester United in what is regarded as a major coup by the Reds.

He's not the only new addition to the club's academy either.

According to Jack Lusby from This is Anfield, 21-year-old Jacob Poytress has agreed a new deal with the club. Initially, Liverpool had announced that Poytress was being released earlier this summer after his contract had expired.

However, he has signed a new deal and is set to stay with the club in an interesting new role for the youngster.

As per Liverpool's official website, Poytress will be a 'training goalkeeper' with the club's U21 side. This role will see him supporting the club's U21 goalkeeping coaches, and remaining at the academy.

It's not known how long the length of his contract is but this is clearly an excellent opportunity for the young man to continue his development both as a player or as a coach, depending on what career path he intends to pursue in the future.
