Overview
- Liverpool announced on Thursday that Prince Cissé has signed his first professional contract with the club after progressing through its pre-Academy and youth ranks.
- Cissé made 19 U18 league appearances in 2025–26, captained the side four times, played four UEFA Youth League matches for the U19s and scored on his U21 debut.
- The contract is reported to be one of eight academy deals the club issued and is expected to run to 2029, the maximum length allowed for a player his age.
- Cissé is the son of former Liverpool striker Djibril Cissé but has shifted from forward to predominantly playing as a centre-back and has represented Wales up to U19 level.
- The signing comes as Liverpool invest in their Kirkby academy and add defensive signings for the first team, creating both clearer pathways and tougher competition for senior places.
