Overview
- Liverpool sources told multiple outlets on Saturday that the club is confident it can retain Rio Ngumoha despite outside interest.
- Fabrizio Romano and other reporters say Arsenal have registered interest and would consider a move if Ngumoha becomes available.
- The club is in active negotiations with Ngumoha’s representatives over a new contract and views the talks as priority for securing his future.
- Iraola has given Ngumoha competitive starts this season and plans to rotate him on both flanks, but summer signings have increased competition for minutes.
- Ngumoha’s England call-ups and growing first‑team exposure raise his market profile and mean the coming weeks will likely decide whether Liverpool can offer a clear role or face renewed transfer approaches.
