Liverpool defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe, the 18-year-old talent signed from Austria for £2.6m, will be unable to play in competitive matches this year due to Brexit-related work permit restrictions. Despite impressing in pre-season, Ndukwe has failed to meet the required points target for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE), which prevents him from participating in Liverpool's competitive fixtures.
The defender, who has been given a chance to impress, could potentially return to the team by January if he secures a loan move that allows him to accumulate the necessary points to qualify for a work permit. Ndukwe's agent has assured that a suitable loan club will be found to help him develop further.
