And Liverpool’s intent is to get Ngumoha to sign a new contract, we wait and see what the players’ perspective is, but Arsenal are kind of monitoring the situation.” But speaking to Anfield Index [via TEAMtalk], the Daily Mail‘s Steele said Liverpool remain confident that Ngumoha is “happy” at Liverpool, with a move away unlikely: “We know that there’s other clubs sniffing around the Ngumoha situation. We know that Liverpool are pretty much saying nothing other than ‘we love Ngumoha and we want him to stay’; we want him to be the face of our future or one of the faces.

“So I think that’s pretty much it. “But I think, from what I heard, Ngumoha is happy at Liverpool, and he wants to continue at Liverpool, and he’s loving life at Liverpool.” Keeping Rio Ngumoha has to be a major Liverpool priority Ngumoha is a special talent with the world at his feet, so Liverpool have to prioritise keeping hold of him, especially at this early point in his career.

He remains raw, so he isn’t necessarily ready to be starting for the Reds every week, but he has the potential to be world-class over time, with Jamie Redknapp explaining his talent since he was a youngster: “I’d watched him since he was seven or eight years of age, he’s got this God-given talent, pace, when he picks up the ball, I’ve never seen anyone with such fast feet. That was the one thing I thought he could improve, but certainly at Liverpool with his finishing, he’s doing that, he’s getting better, he’s getting end product.” Steele’s belief that Ngumoha is content at Liverpool is significant news, and he will hopefully see that Andoni Iraola is building something exciting, with the Spaniard seeing him as a big part of his plans.
