Liverpool in Talks for French Forward

Liverpool is reportedly in talks to sign an 18-year-old French forward, Gillian N'Guessan from Saint-Étienne, before the transfer window closes tomorrow evening, according to journalist Santi Aouna.

N'Guessan's contract with his current club expires at the end of this season, a situation Liverpool is looking to leverage to secure a lower transfer fee.

Capable of playing both as a central striker and on the wings, N'Guessan has made 13 appearances for Saint-Étienne's senior team, currently in the second division, scoring one goal. The talented player holds a French passport, with a French father and an Ivorian mother.

Despite being 17 until yesterday, N'Guessan is already a regular for France's U20 national team.
