Why Liverpool fans should be REALLY excited about Rio Ngumoha’s LATEST comments

Liverpool have a really exciting talent coming through the ranks in Rio Ngumoha.

The 16-year-old only arrived from Chelsea in the summer, but he's already being regarded as one of the best young prospects at the club.

Ngumoha has immediately caught the eye with his dazzling dribbles and his ability to make an impact in the final third.

He's already broken a longstanding record held by Trent Alexander-Arnold and has trained with Arne Slot's first team.

It's still early days and his talent is raw, but the potential is there for all to see.

Ngumoha definitely has the ability to one day earn a promotion to Slot's first team squad on a permanent basis, and the world is his canvas from there.

Rio Ngumoha's exciting comments about his Liverpool future

The Liverpool youngster gave an exclusive interview to Lovell Soccer and discussed his career in detail with a remarkable level of maturity.

Speaking about his work ethic, Ngumoha detailed his self belief and confidence as well as his determination to continue to hone his craft.

"Resilience," he said. "You've always got to believe in yourself. You might be having two, three, four bad games but you should always think you're the best. When I have one or two bad games, I think 'scrap it, go again, work hard'".

Earlier on in the interview, Ngumoha also spoke about his ambition to become one of the best players in the world in the future.

"I truly believe I can win the Ballon d'Or one day. I want to be regarded as one of the best players to ever play football and be a legend of the game,” he said.

What Ngumoha's comments say about his character

Ngumoha's comments will be music to the ears of Liverpool fans. There has been so much said about his talent on the pitch.

But what is equally exciting is that he is clearly a huge character off the pitch too. A player with the insatiate appetite to continue to develop and grow his game.

With that attitude, he doesn't just have the physical tools to go far in the game, but he clearly has the mental fortitude as well.

So much of sport is about having a strong mentality. Being able to persevere and never give up. The best athletes are the ones that don't just work on their physical strength but also focus their minds to help them achieve their goals.

The Liverpool youngster clearly has a similar mentality and the fact that he is able to have this attitude at such a tender age is a really encouraging sign.

If Ngumoha can continue to approach the game in the way he has done so far, he will go very far.

Ambitions of lifting the Ballon d'Or may seem lofty? But why not set the bar high?
