Liverpool defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe is expected to be loaned to a European club for the upcoming season. The 18-year-old has encountered difficulties securing a work visa after joining Liverpool from Austria Wien for £2.6M this summer. Despite his recent appearance in a pre-season match, Ndukwe's lack of senior first-team experience has complicated his permit application. A loan could help him gain valuable playing time and improve his chances of qualifying for a work visa next summer.

- •He joined Liverpool after turning 18 this summer.
- •A work visa is required for non-UK players under current rules.
- •His loan aims to increase his senior appearances.
