Liverpool set to CLASH with England over MAJOR Rio Ngumoha call | OneFootball

Rio Ngumoha has been called up to the England U17 squad for their European Championships qualifiers later this month, but it’s not all good news.

The 16-year-old has made an impressive start to life at Liverpool, wowing fans with his quick footwork and attacking intensity in his few games for the Under-18s side, grabbing his first assist in his second appearance, away to Leeds United.

Ngumoha’s transfer to Liverpool was a real statement of intent by Sporting Director Richard Hughes, who wants the club to be a destination for the best young talent in the country.

Ngumoha is also already being tipped to appear in the first team squad sooner rather than later, following in the footsteps of Trey Nyoni, who was on the bench for the Reds’ recent Champions League win against Bologna.

While his call-up to the England U17 squad is undoubtedly a positive for Ngumoha, it means he will miss some crucial games for the Reds.
