Liverpool has confirmed the signing of Djylian N'Guessan, an 18-year-old winger from St Etienne, for €5 million. This promising talent has made a significant impact, scoring 11 goals in 11 games for France’s Under-17 side. N'Guessan is set to officially join Liverpool in January, but will initially be loaned to Ligue 1 club Brest for the first half of the season. The club will assess his performance in France before making a decision on whether to integrate him into the squad at Anfield. His recent performance at the 2025 European Under-17 Championship was noteworthy; he scored four goals, earned a spot in the team of the tournament, and played a key role in helping France reach the final. This acquisition marks the second young player Liverpool has signed this week, following goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans. Alongside N'Guessan, Liverpool has been proactive in enhancing their youth roster, also bringing in: Armin Pesci (goalkeeper) Mor Talla N'Diaye (centre-back) Ifeanyi Ndukwe (centre-back) Samuel Martinez (midfielder) These strategic signings are part of Liverpool’s vision for the future, driven by their Global Talent team.
