Incredible offer signals Liverpool are all-in on Rio Ngumoha An incredible offer of a player signals a real intent from Liverpool to go all-in on teenager Rio Ngumoha . Are Liverpool about to go all-in on Rio Ngumoha? They’ve been reluctant to do so this season, using the teenager sparingly in an attempt to not rush anything.
That and a belief that he’s not quite ready to be a prominent attack in a top Premier League side, anyway. And that’s just about fair enough given he’s still just 17. But Ngumoha has shone every time he’s played for Liverpool this season.
He brings a dynamic edge that the team otherwise lacks and while a lot of that is from him being the only traditional winger in the squad, his ability to run at defenders is extraordinary. There’s a real suggestion that Liverpool see it that way, too. Teamtalk reports that Cody Gakpo has been offered to clubs by intermediaries, something that would surely only happen if the Reds wanted to gauge interest in the Dutchman.
And that’s only going to happen if Ngumoha is viewed as both the short-team and long-term future of the team. Moving Gakpo on would be a sign of going all-in on the teenager, moving him into a more prominent role. We can’t imagine anyone will be signed who blocks his pathway, after all.
