AcademyKareem Ahmed signs first professional contract with Liverpool FC

The 18-year-old has been at the Academy since the age of six and made an instant impact on his U18s debut in December 2022 by scoring in an FA Youth Cup tie at AFC Bournemouth.

Ahmed can feature as a forward or attacking midfielder, where his creativity can help unlock opposing defences.

Representing the U18s group last season, he finished the term with seven goals and five assists, having also made appearances in the UEFA Youth League against Bologna and RB Leipzig.

Ahmed will spend the 2025-26 campaign with the U21s, led by new head coach Rob Page, after stepping up a level.
