Liverpool have the new 18-year-old gem in their ranks, and given that they splurged £1 million for his arrival, their expectations of the youngster are high.
The Senegalese defender Mor Talla Ndiaye joined the Reds from his homeland's second-tier side Amitie FC, owned by none other than former Chelsea striker Demba Ba!
Welcome to Liverpool Mor Talle Ndiaye 🇸🇳

Some would consider it a stab in the back to the Blues, but still, it's just good business.
As for the young centre-back, he represented Senegal at the recent FIFA U-17 World Cup and started each of the four games the Lions of Teranga played.
Initially, he'll be linked up with Liverpool's U-21 squad, as announced on the club's official website.
Ndiaye will thus become the fourth Senegalese player at the reigning Premier League champions' ranks after El-Hadji Diouf, Salif Diao, and Sadio Mane, and everyone at Anfield definitely hopes he'll at least repeat the successes the latter had achieved with the Reds.
