Liverpool has officially announced the signing of talented French forward Gillian N'Guessan, securing a pre-contract agreement with the Saint-Étienne player.
Liverpool will pay approximately £4.3 million for the 18-year-old prospect, with his permanent transfer set to finalize in January 2027. The French youth international will, however, spend the current season on loan at Ligue 1 side Brest.
N'Guessan is a product of the Saint-Étienne academy, making his senior debut in January 2025. Since then, he has accumulated 13 appearances and scored 1 goal. Liverpool scouts first noticed him during last summer's UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Albania, where he netted 4 goals and was named in the Team of the Tournament. He has since gone on to represent France at the U20 level.
His acquisition marks another successful move for Liverpool under the guidance of Head of Global Talent, Matt Newbury, adding to a list of promising talents including Jérémy Jacquet, Victor Muñoz, Giovanni Leoni, and Luca Brugmans.
