Don't forget! Special winger is coming to Liverpool

It's important to remind everyone that Liverpool have a special winger heading to the club very soon.

This year has marked a significant acceleration of the club's plans under the new leadership of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes.

Liverpool are not only just signing the best players possible for the first-team but they have also made significant attempts to bolster the U21 squad with the best possible players at younger age-groups as well.

We saw this in January with the Reds completing two deals for players who caught the eye at the U17 World Cup.

Ifeanyi Ndukwe and Mor Talla Ndiaye both joined after impressing in the tournament held in Qatar. The latter has already joined the club from Amitie FC, an academy owned by Demba Ba and has shown a lot of promise with his first few performances for the U21s.

Ndiaye is a new kind of transfer for Liverpool. The type of transfer the club hasn't really in the past. He comes directly from Africa and he was able to join the club immediately due to the ESC player rules, which permit Liverpool to secure him a work-permit and allow him to play for the club's U21 side.

Before Brexit, and before the ESC exemption rule came into play, Liverpool couldn’t bring in young prospects like Ndiaye with this kind of ease.

Taiwo Awoniyi stands out as the only player the club signed directly from Africa during that time, but his path was far from straightforward.

He spent years out on multiple loan spells before finally becoming eligible to play in the Premier League.

By then, however, his journey had taken him to instead of Liverpool.
