Liverpool have completed a move for another Academy prospect in Leicester City’s Trey Nyoni.
Fabrizio Romano shared an update on X, with the 2006-born star potentially set to be joined West Ham’s Amara Nallo amid an ‘advanced’ deal for the youngster.
It’s not quite the signings fans will have been hoping for as we creep ever closer to deadline day, with the search for a ‘multi-functional’ operator still ongoing
With the likes of Gabri Veiga heading off to Saudi Arabia (Fabrizio Romano) and former target Matheus Nunes apparently destined for the Etihad, however, the pool of available talent is thinning.

The concern for many will be whether it has thinned to the point of the club refusing to engage with the market in its current form and hold out for better options down the line.
We do now have, in theory, a starting midfield three that carries a great deal of quality in Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, with the likes of Thiago Alcantara and talented youngsters waiting in the wings.
Still, things feel a little bare in the midfield department; a reality a more versatile option could help fix before we move on to quickly fixing the backline.

Liverpool have completed the signing of young defender Amara Nallo from West Ham, according to ExWHUemployee.
Writing via his Patreon account in the early hours of Thursday morning (24 August), the reliable Hammers insider reported that the 16-year-old a signed a five-year deal at Anfield after rejecting a contract offer to stay in East London.
It is understood that the Hammers are disappointed that Nallo has left them as he’s been “tipped for a bright future” at the London Stadium.
What next for Nallo?
West Ham fans can be forgiven for not knowing a lot about the young centre-back but Nallo is a player who was being rated highly by the club’s academy staff.
Despite starting last season at the age of 15, Nallo played twice in the Under-18s Premier League for the Hammers.
He made one of those appearances while he was 15 when he started a 3-1 defeat against Chelsea’s Under-18s.
Nallo is a left-footed defender and would have been eligible to receive a professional contract at West Ham in November when he turns 17.
However, the Londoners have been beaten to the punch.
Liverpool have been linked with Nallo for a few weeks now with Football Insider reporting on 2 August that advanced talks were being held about a transfer.
It’s hard to see why he’s gone to Liverpool at this stage because there’s likely to be a harder route into their first-team squad than there is at West Ham.
We’ll see how things develop for him on Merseyside.
In other West Ham news, a price hike is on the cards for a forward wanted by the Irons.
