Amara Nallo (born 18 November 2006) is a professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Liverpool. [2]
A product of the West Ham academy, he signed scholarship terms with the club in early 2023. [3] He joined fellow Premier League side Liverpool in August 2023. [4] He made quick progress through the youth ranks in his first season with the club. [5] By November 2023, he had already played more games for the Liverpool under-21 side in Premier League 2 than he had for the under-18 side. [6] He also drew praise from under-21 manager Barry Lewtas for his performances in the Premier League International Cup. [7] He also played for Liverpool in the EFL Trophy. [8] [9]
On 28 February 2024, he was included in the Liverpool senior team's match day squad for the first time, named as a substitute against Southampton in the FA Cup. [10] On 10 March 2024, he was included in the Liverpool senior team's match day squad for the first time in the Premier League, named as a substitute against Manchester City.
In March 2024, Nallo received his first call-up to the England U-18 squad, for Pinatar Super Cup fixtures against Czechia, Germany and the Netherlands. [11] He made his debut during a 2-1 win over Czechia at the Pinatar Arena on 20 March 2024. [12]
West Ham under-16 coach Carlton Cole described Nallo as “a Rolls Royce of a centre-back”. [13] Cole also said he has a “high ceiling” with “a great left foot” who appears “elegant when he moves with the ball” and able to play the ball with “both feet”. [14]
Nallo reportedly has heritage from Sierra Leone. [15]
