Arsenal Monitor Liverpool Winger Rio Ngumoha as Reds Push Contract Talks

Liverpool are racing to agree an extended deal to lock down the 18-year-old before a potential 2027 transfer window.

Overview

  • Mid-September reports show Arsenal are tracking Rio Ngumoha and would consider a move in 2027 or later if his situation at Liverpool changes.
  • Liverpool have opened talks on a new long-term contract and have publicly signalled they do not want to sell the winger.
  • Ngumoha has made few Premier League starts this season after Liverpool signed Bradley Barcola and Victor Munoz and kept Cody Gakpo, creating pressure on his minutes.
  • The player’s current contract runs until June 2028 and any future sale would trigger compensation rules that could pay Chelsea a share of any profit.
  • If Liverpool secure a new deal the transfer window risk will fall away, but if Ngumoha fails to win regular starts before 2027 his availability could become a genuine option for Arsenal and other clubs.
