Young midfielder Tommy Pilling has agreed to his first professional contract with Liverpool.
This summer, the Reds were successful in securing new contracts for a number of their key players.
The team announced earlier this week that important forward Diogo Jota had signed a new 5-year extension.
Additionally, the Reds announced last month that Joe Gomez and Mohammed Salah had each received new contracts.
Liverpool has also been working hard to retain a number of academy players in addition to that trio.
Luke Chambers, a recent academy graduate who impressed during preseason, signed an extension with the Merseyside club, the club announced a few days ago.
There is a clear path for young players at Liverpool to join the first team setup.
Opportunities will present themselves over the upcoming seasons as key members of the first team continue to get older, and some Liverpool midfielders are likely to get the boot sooner rather than later.
The contract for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain expires in the summer of 2019, and a recent injury setback has not helped him in any way in his quest to maintain his chances of securing a long-term future at Anfield.
A similar picture is painted by Naby Keita’s circumstance. A few weeks ago, it appeared that he was about to agree to a new contract, but for the time being, the process appears to have stalled.
Curtis Jones, who is 21 years old, has yet to demonstrate that he is actually good enough to play for Liverpool.
