Liverpool plan to reward Cameron Brannagan’s progress with a new, improved contract at Anfield.

The 20-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Anfield, and has impressed manager Jurgen Klopp.

Brannagan made his senior debut in a Europa League tie at Bordeaux back in September, and has made a further eight appearances since, including his first Premier League start on the final day of the campaign at West Brom.

The Salford-born starlet penned a long-term deal with the Reds last October, which expires in 2018, but is set to be offered improved terms this summer in recognition of his development.

Liverpool have already seen two promising teenagers – Jordan Rossiter and Jerome Sinclair – choose to leave the club this summer, having been unable to agree new contracts. The Reds will get just £250,000 for Rossiter, who has signed for Glasgow Rangers, but hope to net as much as £4m for Watford-bound Sinclair at a Premier League tribunal.

The club has been keen to adopt a hardline stance when it comes to Academy players’ contracts, as they look to avoid losing out on talent cheaply.

That policy was in evidence last summer when Brad Smith’s contract expired. Liverpool withheld his registration, and informed the Australian defender that any club wishing to sign him would have to take their chances at a tribunal. No clubs were willing to do so, and Smith returned to Anfield on a long-term contract in November.

Brannagan, though, is seen as someone with a bright future, having impressed whenever given the opportunity under Klopp. Liverpool will hope to tie the youngster’s future down in the coming weeks.
