\n \u00a9 IMAGO – Arne Slot Richard Hughes Liverpool Transfers 2024-25\n <\/p>\n
A very talented midfielder has said goodbye to Liverpool as he leaves the club. <\/strong><\/p>\n January has already been a busy month for the Reds. Liverpool have welcomed three new arrivals at Anfield. Tall Mor Ndiaye and Noah Adekoya are expected to join the club this month.<\/p>\n Article continues under the video<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Liverpool have also struck an agreement with Ifeanyi Ndukwe. He will only join the club in the summer as he won’t turn 18-years-old until March, meaning he can’t sign for the club officially until the next transfer window as per FIFA rules.<\/p>\n All of these signings are going to be for the club’s U21 team. There’s no expectation that they will be immediately promoted to the first-team but Liverpool always offer a pathway and progression to their academy players so there will be opportunities for both Ndiaye and Adekoya to make their mark.<\/p>\n Especially because Liverpool’s current centre-back depth from now until the end of the season is quite thin.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n But while there’s exciting arrivals at Liverpool, there’s also departures.<\/p>\n One player who is on his way out of the club is Scofield Lonmeni. The talented midfielder who is very highly rated was picked up at grassroots level in London.<\/p>\n He joined the club at 14-years-old and then made his way through the ranks. Lonmeni made 30 appearances for Liverpool’s U18 and U19 sides over the course of the last two seasons.<\/p>\n Now the 17-year-old is on the move. He joins Reading, where he had a trial and had already made five appearances for the club’s U18 team.<\/p>\n Lonmeni came back to the club’s academy complex in Kirkby to say his goodbyes this week, posing with the U18 squad and posting it on his Instagram story.<\/p>\n \n \u00a9 Instagram\/@s.lonmeni08 – Scofield Lonmeni Liverpool goodbye\n <\/p>\n “Just like to thank all the staff for helping me be the person I am today and thank all my teammates for creating a bond I will hold for life, so thank you again @liverpoolfc,” Lonmeni’s caption read.<\/p>\n It’s a disappointment to lose a very talented midfielder who was also able to play in a number of different positions.<\/p>\n Lonmeni is going to have a great career in the game and he’s at the perfect place to develop.<\/p>\n Reading have an impressive academy and like to promote young players. Some of their academy graduates include the likes of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze.<\/p>\n Lonmeni’s goal will be to follow the same pathway. If he does, one day he could easily make a return to Anfield and don the red jersey again.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34 Shop the LFC 2025\/26 adidas home range<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb A new centre-back is COMING to Liverpool<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Liverpool finally replace Trent Alexander-Arnold with brilliant playmaker<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n![\"Scofield](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/public.jpeg\")
