Liverpool have won the race to sign highly-rated Leicester City wonderkid Trey Nyoni.

Nyoni was born in England and represented the Young Lions at Under-16 level, but he’s also eligible to play for Zimbabwe through his parentage.

He only turned 16 in June but has already started making waves in youth scout circles, having caught the eye for Leicester’s Under-18s last season.

The young Foxes finished ninth of 12 teams in the Under-18s Premier League southern division in 2022-23, and Nyoni featured in 13 of their 22 outings, registering two goals and one assist. He also made two appearances in the FA Youth Cup.

He scored an assisted on his debut for England’s Under-16s last August, a 3-2 victory over Italy, and has since made a further six appearances at international youth level.

“Thank you, Leicester,” Nyoni wrote on Instagram, seemingly confirming his exit from the King Power.
