LIVERPOOL CONFIRM LANDMARK FIRST PRO DEAL FOR DEFENSIVE STARLET PRINCE CISSE
Liverpool FC have officially tied down highly-rated academy defender Prince Cisse to his first professional contract, marking a major milestone in the teenager’s rising career at Anfield.
The 17-year-old, son of former Reds striker Djibril Cissé, has committed his immediate future to Liverpool after progressing rapidly through the club’s youth ranks.
Cisse, who recently made his under-21 debut, has impressed coaches with his maturity and adaptability—having transitioned from an attacking role into a composed, modern centre-back.
The club’s official statement confirms another strong show of faith in the academy system, with Cisse now joining a growing list of promising young defenders being developed for the future.
Born in Chester and representing Wales at youth level, the teenager’s journey already carries added attention due to his footballing pedigree—but Liverpool staff reportedly believe he is carving out his own identity at the club rather than relying on his father’s legacy.
Under-18 coach Simon Wiles has praised his work ethic and consistency in training, highlighting him as one of the most disciplined prospects in the academy setup.
With several young centre-backs pushing toward senior consideration, Cisse’s progression adds further depth to Liverpool’s defensive pipeline as the club continues building for the long term.
For now, it’s a proud moment for the young defender—his first professional contract signed, and a new chapter at Anfield just beginning.
