New big talent for Liverpool and English football, Rio Ngumoha (16) panics his world. The Reds winger scored the victory goal this Monday against Newcastle (3-2) and impresses the observers. Arrived in September 2024 on the side of Liverpool, he previously played on the side of Chelsea.

According to The Telegraphthe Blues have launched a legal battle against Scousers since he left the London club. While this Friday, Rio Ngumoha will celebrate his 17th birthday and should sign his first professional contract, an amount should be given by Liverpool to his Chelsea training club. The case of Rio Ngumoha will therefore be examined by a commission. Chelsea hopes that the amount will be high in order to dissuade its rivals from drawing from its training center.
