A happy news comes from Liverpool Club, and Rio Ngumoha officially signed his first contract in his career. The three-year contract will tie the young player to 2028 and comply with the regulations for players under the age of 18.

This announcement was warmly welcomed by Liverpool fans. They believe that Leo Ngumoha can be one of the new faces for Liverpool in the future.

His outstanding performance in the preseason and his important contribution as a substitute further reinforces this belief. Especially after he scored the winning goal against Newcastle United last August.

Not only fans, but also the club's legend McManaman also gave high praise. He believes that Leo Ngumoha has different qualities that can take him to the top level in the world.

Leo Ngumoha is evaluated as unique on the Liverpool winger line

According to McManaman, Anmoha's style of playing is different from the current style of other Liverpool wingers. This makes him stand out after joining the first team.

The legend is impressed by Leo Ngumoha's way of possessing the ball and creating unpredictable movements. This trait is considered very rare among players of his age.

is also difficult to compare with other Liverpool wingers because of the significant differences in their game style. McMahon even mentioned a great player from the old era as a comparison.

"He reminded me of someone from Liverpool, and I would miss John Barnes and a winger like this," McManman told Sports Moore.

Further, Mbappe believes that Rio Ngumoha can develop into a person comparable to Mbappe. He saw the similarities between the two when they were young.

Mbappe has shined since his youth in Monaco Football Club and is now one of the best players in the world. According to McManman, Ngumoha had a similar game base early in his career.

If it can remain consistent and become more mature, Liverpool is considered to be able to produce new big stars. McManman expressed this confidence with an optimistic attitude.

"I worked so close to him, I know how he controls the ball, I know his movements. He doesn't compare himself to others. Maybe he was like Killian when he was young, and if he was really like Killian Mbappe, then Liverpool had a superstar in his hands," McMannman said.
