Liverpool has confirmed the signing of **Mor Talla Ndiaye**, a highly rated teenage central defender from Senegal, as part of its ongoing strategy to recruit some of the most promising young talents in world football. The transfer sees Ndiaye arrive from Amitie FC in Senegal, with the deal viewed inside the club as an investment in both the future first team and the continued strength of the academy pathway.

Ndiaye, who has already represented **Senegal at U17 and U18 level**, gained wider attention after featuring at the FIFA U17 World Cup, where he helped his country reach the knockout stages. His performances at international youth level, combined with his physical profile, composure in possession and reading of the game, convinced Liverpool’s recruitment staff that he fits the profile of a modern centre-back capable of developing within the club’s system.[1][2]

The defender has completed his move to Merseyside and will initially link up with Liverpool’s **academy setup**, where coaches will work on integrating him into the club’s playing philosophy, focusing on his tactical understanding, distribution from the back and adaptation to the intensity of English football.[1] The long-term aim is to provide a clear route towards senior involvement if his development progresses as hoped.

This transfer continues Liverpool’s recent trend of targeting **emerging talent from Africa and other developing football markets**, using data-led scouting and international tournaments to identify players before they become established stars. Ndiaye’s arrival is seen as part of broader succession planning in central defense, giving the club another left-footed or versatile option who can operate in a high defensive line and contribute to build-up play.[2]

Alongside confirming Ndiaye’s move, Liverpool is also understood to be **in discussions over at least one further deal**, with talks underway regarding another young prospect as the club looks to deepen its pool of elite youth talent. While details of that potential transfer remain under wraps, the intention is to bolster key positions across the academy and ensure a steady pipeline of players who can either step into the first team or retain strong market value in future windows.
