"He has incredible potential, otherwise, at 17 years of age, you don't play as many minutes as he does in the Premier League, let alone at Liverpool. I don't think there is any other 17-year-old who has played as many minutes in the Premier League as he did. That tells you how much of a talent he is and we think he is."
"It only took Ngumoha 12 minutes on the pitch to engineer the best chance of the game for Liverpool, and the action came down Salah's right flank. The Englishman drove right at Forest left back Neco Williams, dazzled him with a few stepovers and then sent a pinpoint cross right onto the head of Hugo Ekitikié."
Rio Ngumoha, a 17-year-old Liverpool prospect, delivered a standout performance in a substitute appearance against Nottingham Forest, replacing an underperforming Mohamed Salah. Within 12 minutes on the pitch, Ngumoha created Liverpool's best chance of the match, executing skillful dribbling and delivering a precise cross. Though the opportunity went unconverted, his impact impressed manager Arne Slot, who highlighted Ngumoha's exceptional talent and progression. Slot noted that few 17-year-olds have accumulated comparable Premier League minutes, attributing this to Ngumoha's elite potential. The teenager's growing involvement suggests increasing opportunities ahead as he continues developing.
