‘Optimism on both sides’ – Liverpool ‘confident’ of agreeing new deal for ‘future world-beater’

Liverpool are reportedly confident of agreeing a new long-term contract with 18-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha. The teenager, who turned 18 in August, is currently contracted to the club until 2028. There is growing optimism from all parties that a deal will be finalized, despite rumored interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal.

Ngumoha is reportedly content with his prospects under Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola, having started three of the club's first seven matches this season. Club chiefs reportedly view the young winger as a future world-beater and are eager to secure his long-term future amid squad rotation and new signings.
