A vacancy has arisen on the left of Liverpool’s forward line and an early, eye-catching application to fill the role has arrived from a 16-year-old. Rio Ngumoha further enhanced his first‑team claims with a sparkling display against Athletic Bilbao that underlined the formidable strength, and options, available to Arne Slot.
Ngumoha opened the scoring superbly and teed up a goal for Darwin Núñez inside five minutes at Anfield in the first of two pre-season friendlies against the Basque club.
