Romano added that Ngumoha has already reached an agreement with Liverpool for the move so upon the commencement of this process, the deal should be made official.
Rio Ngumoha moving to Liverpool is a sign of good things to come this summer
Ngumoha is only 15 years old but is arguably one of the brightest prospects in the Cobham academy.
Indeed, the Chelsea academy player played consistently throughout his youth career for the club but evidently saw a brighter future with Liverpool.
The Reds must also rate the youngster highly as they are reportedly set to break their academy wage structure [Fabrizio Romano, 8 July] to make a deal work.
Although no moves for the senior squad have yet been made, as has often been the case with the Reds, the club prefers to do things behind closed doors.
There have been some rumours floating around regarding the club’s future with the likes of Ex-Everton star Anthony Gordon being linked with a return to Merseyside [The Telegraph, 1 July].
However, nothing seems to have come to fruition as of yet but there’s no doubt that moves will be made sooner rather than later.
And, looking at the talent within Liverpool’s academy players such as Kieran Morrison are being called up to the Under-19 European Championships, it feels as if the club has a bright future ahead of them.
