Liverpool will know the importance of tying Rio Ngumoha down to a new contract at the club, and now a big claim has emerged regarding his future.The 18-year-old produced a performance for the ages against Villarreal on Tuesday evening, registering two assists in the 4-3 win and running the visitors ragged at Anfield.Ngumoha is one of the most exciting young players to emerge at Liverpool in many years, and if he avoids serious injury, the sky looks to be the limit for him moving forward.He is out of contract in 2028, however, which is a worry, but speaking to Football Insider, former Aston Villa, Everton and Tottenham scout Bryan King said a new deal feels likely at this point: “He’s 18. He came from Chelsea and cost up to £7m if he fulfils all the different criteria in the contract.

For an 18-year-old to have come in and already done what he’s done, he’s a very interesting footballer. “He was picked out by Liverpool.

He was at Chelsea and he gets offered first team football at Liverpool at such a young age. He’s a brilliant talent and I think he’s got a great future at Liverpool.” Liverpool HAVE to keep hold of Rio Ngumoha Ngumoha was breathtaking to watch against Villarreal, producing so many eye-catching dribbles and standing out as the best player on the pitch, even though the £100m+ trio of Bradley Barcola, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak were all involved at some point.
