Liverpool have completed a £4.3m deal for French forward Djylian N'Guessan from St-Etienne.
The 18-year-old will spend the first half of this season on loan at Ligue 1 side Brest, officially joining the Reds in January, when his situation will be reviewed.
N'Guessan is a product of the St-Etienne academy. He made his debut in January 2025 and featured 13 times, scoring one goal. St-Etienne have a sell-on clause in the deal with Liverpool.
As with goalkeeper Lucca Brughmanns, who was signed on transfer deadline day in a deal that could be worth up to £30m, the move for N'Guessan is a result of work from Liverpool's global talent department that is led by Matt Newberry.
The forward featured seven times for France at the 2025 U20 World Cup and was also named in the team of the tournament at last summer's U17 European Championship.
