Understandably, Liverpool are keen to get him tied down.However, while the Reds look to cut off any problem before it begins, there have been reports that both Arsenal and Bayern Munich are monitoring Ngumoha’s situation.

According to what he’s been told in recent weeks, Ngumoha is completely happy at Liverpool and contract talks are moving along.“We know that there’s other clubs sniffing around the Ngumoha situation.
