Liverpool confirm 18-year-old striker signing three days after transfer window closes

Liverpool have officially announced the signing of young striker Djylian N’Guessan from Saint-Etienne.

N’Guessan is set to join Liverpool officially in January, but will spend the season on loan at Ligue 1 club Stade Brestois.

The France youth international is the third teenager to join the Reds this summer following the signings of centre-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe and goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans.

Ndukwe has joined Levante on loan, while Brughmans will also spend the rest of the season on loan at Genk.

N’Guessan made 13 appearances for Saint-Etienne, scoring once.

He scored four goals at last summer’s FIFA U17 World Cup and was named in the Team of the Tournament. He also featured in seven games at the U20 World Cup.

N’Guessan will have a chance to gain more first-team experience at Brest before joining Liverpool. He could make his Ligue 1 debut when the Pirates face Le Havre on Saturday.

He needs to enjoy a strong campaign at Brest to stand a realistic chance of playing for Liverpool’s first team next season.

The arrivals of Victor Munoz and Bradley Barcola have increased competition for places at Liverpool.

Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns are expected to supplement Liverpool’s senior attackers this season, putting pressure on N’Guessan to impress during his loan spell at Brest.
