Liverpool’s summer transfer window has been relatively quiet, but Fabrizio Romano reports that the club is preparing for its first major move.
The Italian journalist announced on his X account that 2008-born talent Rio Ngumoha has agreed to join Liverpool after leaving Chelsea.
Ngumoha’s registration is currently undergoing the Premier League’s five-step investigation process, which could take up to four weeks.
At just 16, Ngumoha may not immediately join Liverpool’s first team, but his potential has generated significant excitement.
Acquiring this promising attacker from Chelsea would be a notable achievement, especially given Chelsea’s recent success in producing top-tier talent.
Due to his young age, the transfer process is more complex and time-consuming. This move would mark the first signing of the Arne Slot era, provided no other deals are completed in the interim.

As Liverpool prepares for their pre-season tour of America, it remains uncertain whether Slot would immediately integrate Ngumoha into the squad.
Fans will have to wait for the paperwork to be completed before seeing the English-Nigerian teenager in a Liverpool shirt.
