Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has heaped praise on youngster Rio Ngumoha, tipping the teenager for a promising career at Anfield.

Speaking after the winger’s latest appearance, Van Dijk highlighted Ngumoha’s talent and potential despite his tender age:

> “He’s brave, quick, raw — obviously only 16, turning 17 soon. We want him to keep developing, stay fit, learn from the best, and keep playing at the highest level. Hopefully, he can become very important for this club.”

Ngumoha, who recently broke into the senior setup, has already caught the eye with his fearless displays, and fans are eager to see how far his talent can take him under Liverpool’s guidance.
