Life is now visible in Liverpool. The Reds, who won Walz in their league title last season, spent the summer big, but have yet to drop any kind of results this season.
After playing seven matches across the competition, Liverpool still boasts a 100% victory record. There’s so much to do for Arne Slot and co. Even before that’s possible, there are some suggestions that Liverpool can give more.
It is said that it could come in the form of Ling Moha, which has attracted the attention of soccer fans since being led by Liverpool’s first team. His breakout moment came in the 100th minute of Liverpool’s clash with Newcastle United earlier this season.
Ngumoha originally passed the Chelsea rank before switching to Liverpool. It was the Blues who Ngumoha worked with manager Saul Isaxon Hearst, who praised the youth following the rise in stardom.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Isaxon Hearst said, “He’s an incredible talent. He stood out at a very young age.
“You knew, even at eight years old, he had a bright, bright future ahead of him. Listen, there’s no guarantee that players will be able to go to the top. But with big clubs, you can see outliers even at a young age.”

However, Isaxon Hearst believes there is no limit to the possibilities of Nugumoha, and he hints that he will one day be able to join the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldinho as winners of the Baron de Oll. He states: “I was joking to my brother: ‘This guy is golden, he’s going to beat Baron de Ort.” I don’t take it lightly, I coached one of the best talents in soccer. He has the ability to go all the way.
Isaxon Hearst is not alone in Ngumoha’s admiration, and Liverpool boss Slot has also leaned him for stardom. After the 17-year-old wrote a professional contract, he said:
“I think it helps them stay on the ground and helps them know that there are still measures than if you’re probably playing for a lower level club. If you’re as good as Rio, you’re probably going to be a member of the best player on the team right away, which could lead to situations that aren’t as grounded as he should be.
“It’s not a problem at all here, first of all, because of who he is. He’s always a player who wants to improve. But when you train and play with other wingers like Cody Gakupo, Mosara, Federico Chiesa, I think there’s still a step for everyone else to get to the level first.”
He added: “Then if you’re on their level, it’s just as consistent as these players. That’s the most difficult thing. The really good thing is that a lot of players can do, but it’s consistently really getting better, which is why top players stand out.”
