But it's also important to note that Hughes and the rest of the recruitment team have been working on buying players for the long-term future.

This has seen Golden Boy nominee Armin Pecsi arrive from Puskas Akademia and Liverpool beating Arsenal to the signature of Will Wright from Salford City.

The duo are not the only youngsters Liverpool have signed. They have also agreed to sign Sidy Barhama Ndiaye from Diambars in Senegal.

Anfield Watch can now exclusively reveal that ahead of his move Ndiaye has been at the AXA training centre with Liverpool. He's been training with the Reds and even featured in a friendly against Fleetwood for the club's U18 side.

Ndiaye was introduced just after 60 minutes, and provided an assist with an excellent run before laying it off to Joshua Sonni-Lambie, who put the ball into the top corner of the net.

The 15-year-old is expected to be at Liverpool for a further two weeks. He will also join Liverpool again later this year, and there is even the potential of Ndiaye training with the first team.

Liverpool scouts spotted him at the U17 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) where Ndiaye played an age group above his own and very much dazzled observers with his quality.

An extremely rapid winger who can play on the left and the right flank, he averaged 8.84 dribbles per 90 at the U17 AFCON.

It was clear that he also had a great defensive work-rate as well, making 3.5 recoveries in the opposition’s half and averaging 6.32 defensive duels - which is very high for a winger.

Still only 15-years-old, Ndiaye won't be able to join Liverpool until he celebrates his 18th birthday. This will be on the 31st December 2027.

However, Liverpool have already agreed a deal to sign him in principle in a similar deal to Kendry Paez's move to Chelsea from Independiente del Valle, which was agreed two years prior to his arrival this summer.

As per FIFA rules, he will be able to spend up to eight weeks per calendar year at the club before he is able to officially complete his move.

Liverpool rate Ndiaye very highly. There are shades of his countryman Sadio Mane in his style of play, and he's regarded as one of the best young prospects in Senegal.

This is the first move in Liverpool's expansion of its global scouting network. In November, Kyle Wallbanks was made the Manager of Global Talent Scouting, and it's believed he personally scouted Ndiaye at the U17 AFCON.

Further hires have been made since to the Global Talent Scouting team. This includes former Liverpool winger Stewart Downing and Tika Musonda, who arrived from Tottenham, and had previously played for Chelsea's academy. The duo both joined the club in their new roles as Global Talent Scouts in May.
