Done deal: Liverpool sign Amara Nallo on five-year contract after deal agreed with West Ham United medical done

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 LondoWest Ham

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.

Manager confirms his midfielder is training alone, after claims Klopp has rang him about joining Liverpool

Fiorentino manager Vincenzo Italiano has confirmed that reported Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat is training alone.

The Moroccan has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, with both Liverpool and Manchester United said to be keen on his services.

Liverpool have had to change their plans this summer after missing out on both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia to Chelsea.

The Reds have brought in Wataru Endo, but they could still do with another top-quality midfielder.

Jurgen Klopp‘s side have been linked with plenty of names over the last few weeks, and Fiorentina star Sofyan Amrabat, who is one of Manchester United’s key targets, is one of them.

Viola News even claimed that Klopp personally called Amrabat to convince him to move to Anfield.

Now, it looks like Fiorentina have all but accepted he’s going to leave. Their manager, Italiano, has left him out of his squad for their trip to Austria, and he’s apparently being made to train alone as well.

Speaking ahead of his side’s Conference League clash against Rapid Wien, Italiano said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano: “Amrabat is training on his own, he won’t travel with us for next game.”

TBR View:

Sofyan Amrabat has been heavily linked with a move away from Fiorentina for months now.

The £25 million midfielder starred for Morocco in the World Cup in Qatar last year. He was magnificent, and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before he moved to a bigger club.

The fact that Fiorentina have left him out of their squad and are making him train alone adds fuel to all the rumours, and we expect him to leave the club in the coming days.

It will be interesting to see if Liverpool will table an official bid to sign Amrabat this week.
