Leeds United Close In on Senegalese Teenager Mor Ndiaye as Deal Nears Completion
Leeds United have agreed a deal to sign highly-rated 18-year-old centre-back Mor Ndiaye from Senegalese club Amitié FC, with the Whites moving swiftly to secure the young defender ahead of rival interest.
Ndiaye emerged as one of the standout prospects at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar last year, where his performances for Senegal  attracted attention from scouts across Europe. Calm in possession, strong in the air and tactically disciplined, the teenager is regarded as one of the most promising defensive talents to come out of Senegal in recent years.

Leeds United’s recruitment team have tracked Ndiaye closely since the tournament and have now reached an agreement in principle with Amitié FC. The club are keen to finalise the deal imminently, with Liverpool understood to be monitoring the player’s situation and considering a potential move.
Sources indicate Leeds are pushing to complete all formalities quickly to avoid a late intervention, with confidence growing at Elland Road that the transfer will be wrapped up soon.

Once the move is confirmed, Ndiaye is expected to initially continue his development within Leeds’ youth setup, with a long-term pathway mapped out toward first-team football.
The impending signing highlights Leeds United’s focus on recruiting elite young talent with high potential as they build for the future. An official announcement is expected soon, with the deal now described as imminent ✅.
