Liverpool’s summer transfer window had been relatively quiet, but according to Fabrizio Romano, the club is gearing up for its first major move. The Italian journalist took to his X account to share the exclusive news: “More on Rio Ngumoha’s move to Liverpool. The 2008-born talent has already agreed to the move after leaving Chelsea.”
Ngumoha’s registration is currently undergoing the Premier League’s five-step investigation process, which could take up to four weeks before the transfer is finalized. At just 16 years old, Ngumoha may not be an immediate addition to Liverpool’s first team, but his potential has generated significant excitement.
Snatching this promising attacker from Chelsea would be a significant achievement, especially considering the recent success of Chelsea’s academy in producing top-tier talent.
Due to his young age, the transfer process is more complex and time-consuming, but this move would mark the first signing of the Arne Slot era, provided no other deals are completed in the interim.
As Liverpool gears up for their pre-season tour of America, it remains uncertain whether Slot would have integrated Ngumoha into the squad immediately. For now, fans will have to wait for the paperwork to be completed before seeing the English-Nigerian teenager donning the famous red shirt.
