Will Spearman is Liverpool's new director of research, replacing Dr Ian Graham, who had previously held the role since 2012.
Dr Graham has been a highly influential figure at Liverpool since his appointment. He announced his intention to leave Anfield back in November but agreed to continue to work until May to give the club time to find a successor.
With Graham having been important to the club’s transfer policy, as well as other forms of analysis, Spearman faces a challenging prospect of fulfilling such significant responsibilities.
