Rio Ngumoha offers solution to Liverpool’s right flank dilemma
Summary

Rio Ngumoha has indicated his willingness to play on the right flank for Liverpool, addressing a key concern for head coach Andoni Iraola as the team prepares for the 2026/27 season. With Mo Salah’s departure, the position lacks a permanent solution, prompting interest in signing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. As Liverpool navigates pre-season, Ngumoha's adaptability could provide a temporary fix, especially given that the club is exploring options for the right wing. The teenager has expressed confidence in his development on both flanks, suggesting he could be a viable candidate alongside other left-side players like Cody Gakpo and Victor Munoz.
