Rio Ngumoha Sets Sights on Stunning Liverpool Again: Can He Pull Off Another Shocker?
What is ‘The Boy’s A Bit Special’?
FourFourTwo’s long-running ‘The Boy’s A Bit Special’ feature has been going since the magazine’s first issue, highlighting the best young players in the United Kingdom and abroad.
As of September 2025, we’ve given it a revamp. Our youth football expert Joe Donnohue will be profiling four teenagers each month, explaining why they’re, well, a bit special.
While there is fluidity to his game that belies his years, Ngumoha’s dribbling style is more jagged, perhaps more unpredictable. He boasts good acceleration and strength for his size and technically, is no match for age-mates.
Only contracted players are permitted to go out on loan, so he won’t be doing that as he’s expected to sign a first pro deal at Anfield and has been named in Liverpool’s Champions League squad. Given the impact he’s already had, there was probably little danger of that happening anyway.
