Liverpool agree terms to sign African star | OneFootball

It's becoming apparent for most of the season now that Liverpool are missing Luis Diaz. Rio Ngumoha was supposed to be given the platform to replace the Colombian.

However, those expectations came far too soon for the 17-year-old, who is still learning his trade and Slot has not been willing to throw him in at the deep end.

Ultimately, Liverpool need a long-term solution for the Diaz problem. On top of that Hughes is now also running into a Mo Salah problem.

Given the Egyptian's comments after Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds, it's now looking like a genuine possibility that he could leave the club in January.

With Federico Chiesa the only other senior option for the winger except for Cody Gakpo, that means investment has to be made and Liverpool are making attempts to do this.
