LeBron James wears new Liverpool kit as 'open secret' is finally revealed

Basketball icon LeBron James appears to have publicised the next step of his partnership with Liverpool by sporting a unique shirt ahead of the LA Lakers' game against the San Antonio Spurs.

James, who previously owned shares in the Reds before acquiring a minority stake in Fenway Sports Group, was a key part of the Anfield club deciding to ditch their deal with New Balance in 2020 in favour of a switch to Nike. Part of Liverpool's attraction towards the American sports manufacturer was down to the influence of stars like LeBron, who have been able to propel the Reds in the market across the Atlantic.

The 38-year-old has now revealed the latest endorsement of the ongoing partnership between himself, the Anfield club and Nike by wearing a custom Liverpool kit that is expected to be released for sale in the upcoming months.
