Why Liverpool could end up paying RECORD transfer fee for Rio Ngumoha | OneFootball

Liverpool’s academy is blessed with a roster of bright prospects, and under the tutelage of head coach Arne Slot, some are sure to grow into first team talents.

One of the Reds’ most exciting young players, Rio Ngumoha, is yet to play for the first team, but the 16-year-old has already made plenty of headlines.

After recently providing a stunning assist against Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Youth League, and sharing his aspirations to one day win the Ballon d'Or, it now looks as though the signing of Ngumoha could cause a headache for higher-ups at Liverpool.

The winger signed from Chelsea last summer after the move passed the Premier League’s five-step approval process, but the Blues were left furious and now a tribunal will be called to determine how much compensation Liverpool must pay.
