Chelsea legend John Terry has extended his best wishes to Rio Ngumoha following the young winger’s transfer to Premier League rivals Liverpool.
Ngumoha, who played for Chelsea’s Under-21 team at just 15, has signed a scholar’s contract with Liverpool and will start in their Under-18 squad. The Premier League has approved the final stages of the deal, though a tribunal might still be needed to finalize the compensation between the two clubs, according to The Athletic.
Ngumoha could potentially make his Liverpool debut against Blackburn Rovers next Saturday. The 16-year-old announced his move on Instagram with the caption: “Delighted to sign for Liverpool YNWA.”
In response, Terry, now Chelsea’s academy coach, wished Ngumoha well, saying: “Good luck mate.”
