Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Stade Brest’s 18-year-old wonderkid Ibrahima Sissoko.

A defensive midfielder, the youngster has played for France U19s and is highly rated.

According to the Daily Mail, the Reds are now monitoring his progress.

Newcastle United attempted to sign the youngster last year, but he decided to sign with Brest ahead of a move to the North East.

Currently playing in Ligue 2, the teenager would be unlikely to play for the Reds immediately – with a big step up in quality between the French second division and the Premier League.
