Incredible player is coming to Liverpool's first-team

An incredible player is coming to Liverpool's first-team very soon.

Arne Slot's team need all the ammunition they can get right now. Richard Hughes and the club's head-coach took a massive risk in the summer by offloading a lot of the fringe players.

It has left Liverpool vulnerable to injuries.

Even though the Reds don't have a mass amount of casualties at the moment, just a handful of players missing, which is normal for any team at this part of the season, it feels like we are in a crisis.

This is what happens when you lack depth. You have to play players out of position and you also have to overload them by playing them a lot.

Slot has compensated for this by reducing training times, which have resulted in Liverpool lacking intensity.

The solution here is to bolster the squad, and that is what the Reds did in January.

Among the players brought in during the winter window, Mor Talla Ndiaye is an incredible talent. He's had to bide his time recently because he arrived at the club with a bit of an injury.

But against Manchester City's U21 side, he finally made his debut debut for Liverpool's second string side coming on as a substitute.

Ndiaye didn't take long to settle into the game. He looked like a class above and dealt with defensive situations really well.

On the ball, he was composed and made some really encouraging forward passes - showcasing that he is a typical modern day defender.

His performance drew special praise for the club's U21 head-coach, Rob Page.

"I'm really pleased with Mor," Page told TheRedMenTV.

"I can only imagine the transition going from where he's been, the teams he's played for, to coming into this environment.

"He's done it with absolute class and he deserved that tonight. He's given a great account of himself."

That's high praise for the debutant but it should be no surprise. The left-footed centre-back is an incredible talent.

Ndiaye is a towering defender with great long legs that aid him in defensive situations.

At 18-years-old 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.

What makes this number even more eye catching is that he wasn't playing it safe with sideway passes, he was always looking to progress the ball.

He averaged the most forward passes per 90 (35.65) and 17 progressive passes per 90. With time and space he was able to break lines and look for those situations where he could instigate attacking situations for his team.

At times he was able to make long switches (7.6 long balls per 90) and generally preferred to play diagonal balls. Watching him, it's obvious that he is always aware of where his teammates are ahead of him.

Given the ease with which he settled into life in Premier League 2, it won't be long until Ndiaye joins the first-team.

His debut was just a reminder that he is coming to join Arne Slot's squad very soon.
