Overview
- Ngumoha told Liverpool he can operate on the right and said on Thursday that he is willing to be tested there during pre-season.
- The teenager singled out two clear targets for 2026/27: more goals and assists and improved defensive actions.
- Iraola has publicly signalled a desire to recruit a right‑sided attacker but has not secured a target and reported options like Bradley Barcola carry high price tags.
- Liverpool's US tour, including the Chicago fixtures, is being treated as the immediate practical window to try Ngumoha on the opposite flank.
- Ngumoha arrives at this moment off a breakthrough 2025/26 season and an England debut, and a strong showing in pre-season could shift Liverpool from an expensive transfer to an internal succession path.
