Liverpool have some elite players at the club, but it looks like they do not have to spend big to find a gem.
The Reds went bold in the summer transfer window and splashed the cash on the likes of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, with both coming in with high hopes.
They may not have exactly hit the ground running, but everyone still knows the quality they possess and just how skilful they are.

However, they may not be the most skilful at the club and Liverpool may have already had someone better in this department at the club, or at least that is what Curtis Jones has just claimed.
Curtis Jones names Rio Ngumoha as the most skilful player at Liverpool
Jones knows a thing or two about being skilful as he is one of the most technically gifted players in the team, and he just keeps on getting better.
He also knows better than most about the academy after rising up through the ranks himself, so his opinion matters a lot.
And after seeing him for the youth team and now the first-team, Jones has claimed that Rio Ngumoha is the most skilful player he has seen, suggesting he is about to go onto new heights.

“I see him every day in training. I remember the first day when he came in I was like ‘woah’. He’s just shown it every day so I’ll probably say him.”
Rio Ngumoha is exactly who Liverpool need right now
The Reds lately have been too slow on the ball, out of creative ideas and far too easy to read, all things that Ngumoha can change.
He is unpredictable, direct and can get the crowd on their feet, something that will only drive the team on.
Starting regularly is probably not sensible given his age and inexperience, but he certainly deserves more minutes off the bench as just six minutes in Liverpool’s last eight matches is not fair at all.
20 or so minutes towards the end of games is where he can be most impactful, so perhaps Arne Slot should at least give it a go, especially as if he does not find a solution to their issues, he will lose his job fairly quickly.
