Ngumoha supplied two assists, as news around the winger’s contract situation has emerged from Fabrizio Romano, including that Liverpool are ‘working on a deal’ and that he is viewed ‘untouchable.’ What’s even better is that Dean Jones has reported that the youngster himself is ‘calm’ about the situation, as Liverpool aim to tie down one of their best prospects to a long-term deal.
