Ndiaye Makes Brilliant Impression for Liverpool Under-18s

Sidy Barhama Ndiaye, a 15-year-old Senegalese forward, has showcased remarkable potential during his current training spell with Liverpool's Under-18 side. Although he is not eligible to officially join the club until his 18th birthday on December 31, 2027, Liverpool have already agreed a deal to sign him in principle, following a model similar to Chelsea's approach with Kendry Paez. This arrangement allows Ndiaye to spend up to eight weeks per calendar year at the club before completing his full transfer in accordance with FIFA regulations.

Ndiaye recently participated in a friendly match against Fleetwood Town’s U18s, coming off the bench just after the hour mark. He made an immediate impact by delivering a dynamic driving run that directly set up a precise goal by teammate Joshua Sonni-Lambie. This performance underlines his electric playing style and potential to become a future asset for Liverpool's youth pipeline.

Under the management of Arne Slot, who led Liverpool to the Premier League title in his first season, the club is emphasizing a blend of short-term success with long-term sustainability. Ndiaye’s integration reflects this vision to develop a steady stream of elite talent capable of contributing at the highest level when needed.

Ndiaye is expected to remain on Merseyside for approximately two more weeks before returning to Senegal, with plans to continue his development through periodic training stints at Liverpool later this year and beyond as part of their phased integration strategy.
