Liverpool have completed a move for another Academy prospect in Leicester City’s Trey Nyoni.
Fabrizio Romano shared an update on X, with the 2006-born star potentially set to be joined West Ham’s Amara Nallo amid an ‘advanced’ deal for the youngster.

The concern for many will be whether it has thinned to the point of the club refusing to engage with the market in its current form and hold out for better options down the line.
We do now have, in theory, a starting midfield three that carries a great deal of quality in Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, with the likes of Thiago Alcantara and talented youngsters waiting in the wings.
Still, things feel a little bare in the midfield department; a reality a more versatile option could help fix before we move on to quickly fixing the backline.
