Liverpool agree deal for really EXCITING forward to join | OneFootball

Liverpool are always on the hunt for the biggest teenage talents around. The club recently secured a deal for Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea, which followed on from a similar agreement for Trey Nyoni from Leicester.

There is an established pathway for young players from the under-age ranks to the first team, meaning the AXA Training Centre is always an attractive destination for promising young talents.

And even if the first-team spending is being ratcheted up by the record acquisition of Florian Wirtz, talent identification and recruitment at youth level won’t stop.

In a recent report from France Football journalist Nabil Djellit it’s been claimed that Liverpool have agreed a €1m fee with Diambars FC in Senegal for promising winger Sidy Barhama Ndiaye.

The 15-year-old wouldn’t be eligible to move to the Premier League champions until December 31 2027 - when he turns 18 - but it makes sense to secure the future of one of African football’s most promising talents at this early juncture.

Reds’ recruiters were reportedly impressed with Ndiaye’s performances in the recent Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations. The teen talent featured in all four of Senegal’s matches before they dropped out of the tournament at the quarter-final stage.

Described as a pacy winger, Ndiaye mostly played from the right but is also capable of playing as a left-wing option too.

“Info: Liverpool were impressed by Sidy Barhama Ndiaye during the last U17 Africa Cup of Nations,” the journalist wrote on X.

“The Senegalese winger (born in 2009) is set to leave the Diambars academy to (likely) join Liverpool.

“The transfer fee is estimated at €1 million. Great work happening in Senegal. Bravo.”
