These are the latest images of the Anfield redevelopment taken by a Liverpool FC fan.

The pictures were taken by Steven Thomas, from Huyton, who used a drone to capture a birds-eye view of the stadium.

Liverpool FC are redeveloping their iconic Anfield stadium as part of a £260m scheme for the whole Anfield area.

The ground, famed for its Kop stand and thrilling big game atmosphere in the Premier League and on Champions League nights, will have its capacity extended by an extra 8,500 seats.

In September 2014, the £260m scheme received planning permission from Liverpool city council with the project expected to create 360 new jobs and bring in an extra £14.5m to the area annually.

This week Liverpool FC’s chief commercial officer, Billy Hogan, said the club will press on with efforts to attract a naming rights partner for Anfield’s redeveloped Main Stand.

Speaking to the International Business Times, Mr Hogan confirmed that the Reds will seek to preserve the traditional values of the club when developing their iconic stadium, stating that the aim was to build “a new stand but one that looks like it’s always been there.”

But he says that the new 21,000-seater stand, which is expected to be completed in the next two years, represented a chance to bring in a partner to take “a significant seat at that table.”

Hogan also confirmed that the club would look to bring in a new ticket-pricing structure once the new stand is completed.

The development is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of the 2016-17 season.
