Liverpool FC’s 17-year-old sensational winger Rio Ngumoha has now put pen to paper on a deal, extending his stay on Merseyside until 2028.
It’s a significant step for both player and club, as Ngumoha is widely regarded as one of the most exciting young prospects in English football.
The London-born left winger, not very long ago, became a household name after scoring a 90+10’ winner against Newcastle United.
Notwithstanding the media attention to that game thanks to the then-ongoing Alexander Isak transfer saga, it worked out well for Ngumoha as his winner grabbed eyeballs from everywhere.
Ngumoha joined the Merserysiders from the Chelsea Youth Setup in September of last year, and was straight away pushed into the first-team setup thanks to his talent and immediate adaptation to new surroundings.
Securing his future with the club is good news for the fans, the club, and, of course, the player himself.

It is not new for starlets to move from one club to another other but in Ngumoha’s case, his leaving Chelsea left their former captain John Terry “gutted”, as he’d like to put it (Daily Mail), which is more than enough proof that the Londoners saw him as a very important player.
Liverpool have moved swiftly to ensure that one of England’s most exciting young players remains tied to the club for the foreseeable future.
