"Youth Development have always been one of my key pillars in all the setups that I have established. Curating a pathway into Singapore’s professional football scene have always been my primary focus. More than 15 players have benefitted and turned professional from this arrangement since 2018. Now being involved in Liverpool FC International Academy Singapore, I am excited that we can further develop young players and help them realise their dreams to become professional players. With great players that LFC Academy have produced through many generations, we are excited to bring The Liverpool Way to Singapore and perhaps someday we can have an alumnus plying their trade at Anfield."

"Having seen the impact the Liverpool FC International Academies can have on young players around the world, I am extremely excited about the opening of LFC IA Singapore. Being able to teach the authentic values and methods direct from the Liverpool FC Academy in Kirby will hopefully have a major impact on the development of young Singaporeans on and off the pitch. This club, which holds so much history, incredible players and special memories, will inspire the next generation and being part of LFC IA Singapore will allow them to experience what it is truly like to be part of the world’s greatest football family."
