Liverpool set to sign 'next Sadio Mane' as 'dazzling' player spotted at training ground

The Reds have quietly moved to agree another signing.

Liverpool have quietly agreed to complete another transfer - and the player has already been spotted at their training ground.

Arne Slot's side have already signed six players this summer, including the club-record acquisition of attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.

His Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong, Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez and Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike have also arrived at Anfield.

But the Reds have been hard at work behind-the-scenes in bolstering their academy ranks, with highly-rated 17-year-old striker Will Wright signing from League Two side Salford City.

Liverpool had to fend off interest from Arsenal to sign Wright, who has already made his debut for the club's under-21 side.

Anfield Watch have now reported that another academy signing has been completed - and he will surely excite fans.

Liverpool have agreed to sign young winger Sidy Barhama Ndiaye from Senegalese side Diambars FC.

Ndiaye has already spent time at the Reds' training ground, featuring in a friendly.

Reds fans will have to wait a significant while for Ndiaye to be in contention for the first team, however.

The 15-year-old only turns 18 in December 2027, meaning he can only officially join Liverpool in January 2028.

However, Anfield Watch add that, under FIFA rules, he can spend up to eight weeks per calendar with the Reds in order to acclimatise himself to English football and conditions.

Who is Sidy Barhama Ndiaye?

Ndiaye currently plays for the youth team at Diambars FC, and gained attention at the U17 Africa Cup of Nations.

He is also set to represent Senegal at the U17 World Cup later this year, with the African nation drawn against Croatia, Costa Rica and United Arab Emirates in Group A.

Scouting website TotalScouting describes Ndiaye as 'the fastest U17 player I have ever seen', though expresses doubt over whether he will have the technical ability to star regularly in Europe's top five leagues in the future.

He has already earned comparisons with former Liverpool star Sadio Mane at the same age, with the pair both from Senegal.

Notably, Diambars FC have previously produced a number of players who have featured regularly in Europe's top five leagues.

Everton midfielder Idrissa Gueye represented the club as a young player, as well as former Barcelona B centre-back Mikayil Faye.

Ex-Crystal Palace man Pape Souare, Lorient winger Cheick Dieng and former Stoke midfielder Badou Ndiaye have also been produced by the club.
