Liverpool agree deal for really EXCITING forward to join
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.
Liverpool impressed by 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.
Liverpool agree €1m deal for Ndiaye
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.

Javier Zanetti Hails Argentina Superstar As 'One Of The Most Important Players In Inter History'
Javier Zanetti Hails Argentina Superstar As 'One Of The Most Important Players In Inter History' Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti waxed lyrical about long-serving Nerazzurri stalwart Lautaro Martinez during his latest interview. Speaking to the official FIFA channel via FCInterNews, Zanetti labeled his compatriot 'one of the most important players in Inter history.' Advertisement Lautaro Martinez has devoted the best part of his senior playing career to defending the Nerazzurri colors. Indeed, the 27-year-old has been Inter's faithful servant since joining the club from Racing in 2018. During his trophy-laden stint at the San Siro, Lautaro has won multiple titles, including two Serie A trophies. Furthermore, he contested two Champions League finals, albeit without success. Nonetheless, he has been the leader of this Inter generation on and off the field. The Argentine center-forward has set numerous club records en route to becoming a fan favorite. More importantly, he has always reiterated his love for this shirt, proving a true leader and a symbol of Inter's identity. Javier Zanetti Heaps Praise on Inter Milan Superstar Lautaro Martinez MILAN, ITALY – MAY 06: Lautaro Martinez of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final Second Leg match between FC Internazionale Milano and FC Barcelona at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on May 06, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) If there's anyone competent to talk about loyalty, it's Javier Zanetti. Advertisement Indeed, the former Inter captain spent nearly two decades at the San Siro before calling time on his career in 2014. Moreover, the 51-year-old had the opportunity to share the dressing room with Lionel Messi. Arguably the greatest player in football history could represent Argentina for one last time at the 2026 World Cup. 'We're talking about the best player in the world,' Zanetti said about La Pulga. 'Seeing him still on the pitch and being able to enjoy his game is definitely a great experience. 'He must continue doing what he has always done. He's a great point of reference, he's the captain. 'The way he represents us in every corner of the world is something that deserves only praise.' Advertisement Messi is Argentina's talisman, but football is a team sport, and he needs support. And that's where Lautaro comes into play. In addition to his sterling career at Inter, El Toro has been magnificent for his country. 'Lautaro is our point of reference, the captain. He's one of the most important players in Inter's history,' Zanetti stated.
