Liverpool have taken a big step towards signing highly-rated young centre-back Mor Talla Ndiaye this January, according to trusted transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. The deal has reportedly reached a verbal agreement, with Romano using his famous “Here we go!” confirmation on social media to signal the move’s progress.
The 18-year-old Senegalese defender currently plays for Amitié FC and has impressed scouts with his performances at the recent Under-17 World Cup in Qatar. Although he’s still early in his career, Liverpool see Ndiaye as a long-term investment, adding depth and future potential to their defensive ranks.
Internally, the plan is to integrate him into the club’s development pathway rather than thrust him into the first team straight away, with the focus on building experience and adapting to English football at the youth and U21 levels.
This move follows Liverpool’s recent acquisition of defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe, signaling a broader effort to strengthen defensive options beyond their senior squad this transfer window.
Liverpool’s coaching staff believe adding a left-footed centre-back with Ndiaye’s physical traits and composure offers balance to their defensive plans moving forward.
