TA: Liverpool may keep Ngumoha in the first team, which can also save transfer funds
According to The Athletic, Liverpool may keep 16-year-old Ngumoha in the first team, which will also save the team transfer funds.
Preseason, 16-year-old Ngumoha performed well for Liverpool. He scored a goal against Yokohama Mariners, and had previously performed well against Preston, Stoke City and AC Milan.
TA reported that this fully proves the outside world's view on Ngumoha. Even if Dias is sold to Bayern, Liverpool does not think it is necessary to strengthen the left side. Garkepo is the first choice on the left side, and Wirtz and Ekitic can play this position, and Ngumoha's progress has allowed him to occupy the first team position in Slot's considerations and may save some money for the club in the transfer market, and the club does not want to stop Ngumoha from becoming the first team.
When Ngumoha chose to leave Chelsea to join Liverpool, the London club was very angry at the loss of one of England's most dazzling young talents, and since he joined Liverpool, he has shown why Chelsea fans are so disappointed, and he impressed Liverpool's first team and youth coaching staff in training and competitions of all ages.
Since there are no major international events this summer, most of the Liverpool first-team players participated in pre-season training from the beginning, which means that there are fewer young players in this pre-season lineup than usual. Ngumoha and Nioni accompany the team also fully demonstrated the impression they had left on the team before.
During the pre-season preparation, Ngumoha and Nioni continued to impress the first team coaching staff with their attitude and talent, and seized the opportunity in the game. People think they may be first-team members, which will allow Liverpool not to worry about depth when other young players such as Morton and Ben Dock leave the team.
Engumoha may play a more important role this season, which is even more than anyone’s reasonable expectations a month ago, and he still needs to be managed carefully and expectations of him should remain realistic. But Ngumoha is indeed showing why he is one of the hottest new stars in European football, which cannot be ignored.
