Nottingham Forest Agree Deal for Senegalese Teenager Mor Ndiaye
Nottingham Forest have agreed a deal to sign highly-rated 18-year-old centre-back Mor Ndiaye from Senegalese club Amitié FC, as the Reds move decisively to secure one of Africa’s most promising young defensive talents.

Ndiaye was identified by Forest’s recruitment team following impressive performances at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Qatar last year, where he represented Senegal  and showcased his composure, physical presence and maturity beyond his age on the international stage.
After extensive scouting, Nottingham Forest have now reached an agreement in principle with Amitié FC and are pushing to finalise the transfer quickly, eager to complete the deal before interest from other Premier League clubs emerges. The teenager’s rapid rise has reportedly attracted attention across Europe, prompting Forest to act early.

Sources close to the deal suggest Ndiaye is viewed as a long-term investment, fitting Forest’s strategy of recruiting elite young talent with significant development potential. Once the move is completed, he is expected to begin within the club’s development pathway, with a structured plan in place to help him adapt to English football.
The imminent signing highlights Nottingham Forest’s growing focus on global scouting and youth development. An official announcement is expected soon, subject to final paperwork and international clearance.
