Premier League club Liverpool have sent young defender Ifeanyi Ndukwe on a season-long loan to La Liga club UD Levante.
In January, Liverpool signed Ndukwe, 18, from Austrian Wien and the contract is until the summer of 2031.
Ndukwe will now be on loan in Spain for the entire next season.
There is no purchase option for the Spanish club included in the agreement.
The hope is that Ndukwe can take a place in Liverpool’s senior squad after the loan. However, the talent has not yet received a work permit in England.
Should the 18-year-old central defender be approved to play in the Premier League before then, there is a chance he will be recalled in January, according to the BBC.
Ifeanyi Ndukwe has been capped by Austria at junior levels, and has impressed during pre-season for Liverpool.
