Sensational new signing finally joins Liverpool first-team

Liverpool were joined by their new January signing at last in training this week.

The Reds' winter window went under the radar. It was probably dominated by the things they didn't do.

Not signing Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi will likely come back to haunt Liverpool's ambitions. Those two players have given Manchester City a massive push towards the Premier League title.

Both of those players were also on Liverpool's radar. If the Reds had got them, this season could have turned out a lot more differently.

Alas, things this season were never meant to be.

However, while we look at January now as a failure, in years to come we could look back on this as a successful and pivotal period of Liverpool's rebuild.

After all, it was in this window that Richard Hughes secured the signing of Jeremy Jacquet, who will become a key part of Liverpool's future plans at centre-back.

But not only the Frenchman.

Liverpool also signed Mor Talla Ndiaye who joined the club's U21 side, and has caught the eye in a few appearances under Rob Page, including on his debut against Manchester City.

The 18-year-old s a towering defender with great long legs that aid him in defensive situations.

He has everything to be an elite centre-back. Tall, quick, and he reads the game really well. The thing that immediately stood out about him at the U17 World Cup was his composure and quality on the ball.

He averaged the most passes (83 per 90) out of centre-backs at the tournament. Impressively, he completed 91% of his passes.
