Liverpool have a signing in a key position that they must get right if they are to continue challenging Manchester City and Chelsea for the top honours.

Commercial director Matt Scammell, who joined the Reds 18 months ago from Manchester United, is to join Formula E as chief commercial officer in a move that was first reported by SportBusiness.
