  • Ndiaye makes the move from Diambar

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    French journalist Nabil Djellit reports that Liverpool's scouts were impressed by the 16-year-old winger's performances in the Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations held earlier this year. The diminutive winger is currently on the books at Senegalese club Diambars FC. Should he complete the move to Merseyside, he will join Liverpool's academy setup.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The move will likely invoke comparisons to Sadio Mane. Ndiaye's compatriot played 269 games and scored 120 goals for the Reds. If the youngster can provide even a fraction of that output if his number is called for the first team, it will be €1m well spent.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Liverpool have been active in the transfer market already this summer, completing moves for Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, both of whom join from Bayer Leverkusen. Alongside those big name signings, the Reds have also looked to the future, snapping up 20-year-old Hungarian keeper Armin Pesci on a five-year deal.
