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.
