Liverpool signs teenage forward Djylian N’Guessan from French club Saint-Étienne, the Premier League team announces. Liverpool says the 18-year-old will join the club on a permanent contract in January.
Liverpool also says N’Guessan will spend the remainder of the current season on loan at Brest in France’s Ligue 1. The outlets describe the move as Liverpool adding another young prospect from Saint-Étienne and then continuing his development through the loan spell in France rather than immediately integrating him into the squad.
Across the sources, the key details align on the player’s identity, his origin at Saint-Étienne, the permanent nature of the January transfer, and the temporary loan to Brest for the rest of the season. No source provides differing figures on the fee or contract length.
