Liverpool FC are set to unveil their plans for the expanded Anfield stadium this week, which will see the capacity increased from 45,000 to 58,800 seats.
The first phase of development will see the Main Stand become a 20,000 capacity stand with three tiers, taking the capacity to 54,000. The second phase will see the Anfield Road stand expanded to complete the redevelopment.
Liverpool have been unable to release their plans until the final homes directly behind the Main Stand were purchased, which Mayor Anderson now says has been completed.
“We have now completed buying all the properties around ground so things will start happening quickly at last,” said Anderson, responding to a fan on twitter.
An early mock of the proposed redevelopment has been leaked online recently, showing the expanded Main Stand.
LFC owner John W. Henry told BBC’s Football Focus on the weekend:
“We’ll be releasing some drawings in the next few weeks. We’re excited about what we’ve seen and the design that we have.”
