Liverpool confirms transfer agreement with talks underway for another deal

Liverpool has confirmed the signing of 18-year-old center-back Mor Talla Ndiaye, with the Senegalese teenager set to join the Reds' U21s side under Rob Page.

Ndiaye was previously playing for the Senegalese second-tier outfit Amitie FC, but will move to Merseyside to take the next steps in his career. The young defender — whose full name is El Hadji Mor Talla Ndiaye — impressed at the recent U17 World Cup in Qatar, starting all four games at the tournament, which ended with Senegal’s elimination by Uganda in the round of 32.

A talented prospect, Ndiaye will help bolster Liverpool’s defensive options at youth level. With a lack of senior alternatives available, Wellity Lucky has become an almost permanent fixture in Arne Slot's matchday squads of late.

It is understood that the Reds are also in talks to bring in Ifeanyi Ndukwe from Austria Vienna. That would be a move lined up for the summer.

Ndiaye is a left-footed center-back who plays on that side of the defense. He will join the academy ranks to begin with, where the Reds are looking to increase their options.
