Mor Ndiaye's first words after Liverpool signing amid Sadio Mane message

Liverpool’s new signing Mor Talla Ndiaye has spoken for the first time since completing his move from Senegalese side Amitié FC, expressing pride at following in the footsteps of fellow countryman Sadio Mané and other African stars who have shone at Anfield. The young center-back described joining Liverpool as a “dream” opportunity and highlighted how Mané’s success at the club helped convince him that this was the right place to develop his career.

Ndiaye explained that he grew up watching Liverpool’s games and was particularly inspired by Mané’s work rate, humility, and impact in big matches. He noted that seeing a Senegalese player become a hero for both club and country made the idea of playing for Liverpool feel more realistic for him. The defender also mentioned that Mané’s journey from Senegal to the Premier League serves as a roadmap he hopes to emulate, even though they play in different positions.

The teenager emphasized his determination to make the most of his chance, acknowledging that he is at the beginning of a long process. He stressed his willingness to learn, listen to coaches, and adapt to English football, underlining his commitment to hard work in training and with the club’s U21s setup. Ndiaye described himself as confident on the ball, aggressive in duels, and eager to improve every aspect of his game.

He also sent a message to Liverpool supporters, promising to give everything for the shirt and expressing hope that, in time, he can make them proud as Mané once did. While careful not to invite direct comparisons, Ndiaye said that carrying the expectations of Senegalese fans motivates him. He concluded by saying that he wants to write his own story at Liverpool, inspired by Mané’s legacy but defined by his own performances and development.
