Rio Ngumoha has received a glowing endorsement from the player he displaced in Liverpool's record books, with predictions he could develop into one of the world's elite wingers. Woodburn, currently plying his trade at Salford City, has confessed to mixed emotions about losing his place in history, but holds nothing but admiration for Ngumoha's potential to reach the very top with Liverpool.

For me, I kind of felt in the moment that [the record] didn't really matter, I probably didn't realise how big it was at the time, so I'd imagine he's the same "He's probably just loving playing his football, he's played since, and he's been great every time he's played for Liverpool, so I'm sure he'll be fine. It's so difficult for a 17-year-old lad to play, but I was surprised how many games he's played already.

"To me he looks like he could be one of the best wingers in the world at one point, so hopefully he can kick on and do that." Woodburn's journey at Anfield didn't quite pan out as expected after his promising debut as a teenager. He then spent two years at Preston, scoring just once in the Championship before being released in 2024 and joining Salford.
