Nallo has been progressing through the ranks at the Academy since being signed from West Ham United in September 2023.

The 18-year-old centre-back featured during the pre-season tour to the United States last summer and made his senior debut in the Champions League clash at PSV Eindhoven in January.

Nallo (pictured below), though, suffered a nightmare when he was dismissed four minutes after coming on as substitute to oust Michael Owen as the youngest player ever to be sent off for Liverpool.
