There was also a place in the team for Steven Davis, who signed a permanent deal in the summer, while George Edmundson and Jake Hastie have also been added to the squad.

It is expected they will soon be joined by a mystery centre-back. It's a position Gerrard has made no secret of his desire to strengthen further.

“It will be a permanent deal for a defender. There is still a way to go but we have had some progress in the last couple of days.

“If things progress as they have in the last 48 hours, I’m hoping something will get done by the end of the week.”
