Bradley Barcola was Liverpool’s marquee signing this summer, with the Frenchman seen as being one of the most impressive wingers in world football.However, while Barcola looks like a top addition, fellow new signings Ronald Araujo and Jeremy Jacquet have hit the ground running at Liverpool with some brilliant early performances.And according to Rio Ngumoha, the two defenders are really standing out in training, showing themselves to be among the best defenders in world football.

“Jeremy, he’s only 21 and he looks mature and on the ball he looks fearless, and off the ball no-one can get past him. Liverpool fans have already decidedNgumoha enjoying training with Liverpool’s new coachesWhile Araujo and Jacquet have been impressing Ngumoha in training, the teenager also touched upon the difference Iraola and his coaches have made to the sessions at the AXA Training Centre.“We’ve always had the togetherness and also out in the training pitch the gaffer, Tommy [Elphick], we have Coops [Shaun Cooper], we have Pablo [de la Torre] as well, they all tell us we have to press and we have to work hard,” he said.“But they install the mentality between us and this season we’re going to do stuff that’s different and special.

Then off the ball as well, you have to work off the ball, whether it’s tracking a full-back and stuff. It’s been good.”Clearly, new signings like Araujo, Jacquet and Barcola have given Liverpool a boost, but it sounds as though Iraola and his coaches have also injected plenty into training.Given what they’ve shown with the Reds so far, it is hard to argue against Ngumoha’s claim that Araujo and Jacquet are among the very best defenders around, and they’ll both be hoping to show that again as the season progresses for Liverpool.
