Slot hails 'special' Ngumoha goal in 'lucky' Liverpool win at Newcastle
Rio Ngumoha, 16, scored Liverpool's stoppage-time winner against Newcastle, becoming the Premier League's fourth youngest scorer.
Former Liverpool star John Barnes advised allowing Ngumoha to develop slowly, stating Liverpool is the ideal club for his growth.
Barnes believes Ngumoha has the potential to become an England international but cautioned against placing excessive expectations on him.
Barnes revealed he knew about Ngumoha’s talents, having been friends with his house family in London.
With speculation about Alexander Isak’s future at Newcastler, Barnes advocated for the transfer window to close before the season begins to prevent disruption, and suggested Liverpool needs to improve its defence.
