Brighton & Hove Albion Agree Deal for Senegalese Teen Centre-Back Mor Ndiaye
Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed a deal to sign highly-rated 18-year-old centre-back Mor Ndiaye from Senegalese side Amitié FC, as the Seagulls move decisively to secure another exciting young talent with long-term potential.
Ndiaye was identified by Brighton’s renowned recruitment network following impressive performances at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar last year, where he represented Senegal and stood out for his physical strength, composure on the ball and tactical intelligence at the heart of defence.
After extensive monitoring, Brighton have now reached an agreement in principle with Amitié FC and are pushing to finalise the transfer quickly, keen to complete the deal before interest from other Premier League clubs intensifies. The teenager’s performances on the international stage have reportedly attracted attention from across Europe, prompting the Seagulls to act early.
Sources close to the negotiations indicate Ndiaye is viewed as a classic Brighton signing — a high-upside prospect with strong development potential. Once the move is completed, he is expected to join the club’s development pathway, with a clear plan designed to help him adapt to English football and progress toward first-team contention.
The imminent signing further underlines Brighton & Hove Albion’s reputation for elite scouting and youth development. An official announcement is expected soon, subject to final paperwork and international clearance.
