Trey Nyoni has signed his first professional contract with English Premier League club Liverpool.
The 17-year-old midfielder was born in the UK to Zimbabwean parents which makes him eligible to play for the Zimbabwe national teams.
Liverpool announced the contract signing in a statement, saying:
<blockquote>
Trey Nyoni has signed his first professional contract with Liverpool FC.
The midfielder, 17, joined the Reds from Leicester City in September 2023.
Nyoni began his time at the club with Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s U18s side, making an instant impression with a late winner in a youth Merseyside derby on his home debut.
The England U18 international then progressed to the U21s set-up before making his senior Liverpool debut at the age of 16.
Nyoni came on as a substitute as Southampton were beaten in the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup at Anfield in February 2024.
After being part of Arne Slot’s squad on the club’s pre-season tour of the USA and scoring in a friendly against Sevilla at Anfield, Nyoni captained the Reds’ U19s in their UEFA Youth League meeting with AC Milan and is now a regular fixture for Barry Lewtas’ U21s.
Earlier this month, he was named on the bench as Slot’s team defeated Bologna in the Champions League.

Trey Nyoni Signs First Professional Contract With Liverpool

Zimbabwean-linked footballers Nelson Reiss and Treymaurice Nyoni were involved in the highly anticipated FA Cup 3rd round clash between English Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool. Reiss, who has been embroiled in a debate regarding his international allegiance, started the match for Arsenal, while Nyoni was listed on the team sheet but did not make an appearance.
The match ended with a 2-0 victory for Liverpool, with goals scored by Jakub Kiwior (own goal) in the 80th minute and Luis Díaz in stoppage time at 90+5′.
Reiss, who started the game for Arsenal, was substituted in the 62nd minute, making way for Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli. Despite having an opportunity to score early in the match, Reiss’s scuffed shot was deflected wide of the far post.
Reiss, who had previously declined to play for the Zimbabwe national team in favour of representing England, began his football journey at Arsenal’s academy at the age of nine. Gradually working his way up the ranks, Reiss eventually earned a place in Arsenal’s first team. Despite speculations about a potential change in his national team allegiance, Reiss claimed in an interview on the Arsenal weekly show Colney Carpool in April 2023 that he does not possess any Zimbabwean roots. He claimed that he is, in fact, of Jamaican descent, with his mother hailing from the Caribbean nation.
On the other hand, Nyoni, an attacking midfielder, recently joined Liverpool from Leicester City in September 2023. Having spent ten years in Leicester’s academy, Nyoni showcased his talent and potential as a promising young player. Although he was listed on the team sheet for Liverpool in the FA Cup match against Arsenal, Nyoni did not feature in the game and remained on the bench, watching the action unfold from the sidelines.
