New Liverpool arrival set to unleash NEXT Rio Ngumoha | OneFootball

Liverpool's latest arrival will unleash the next Rio Ngumoha at the club.

It's hard to contain the hype around the Reds' 16-year-old wonderkid at the moment. Ngumoha was probably one of Liverpool's best players in pre-season making five goal contributions in as many games.

Then on his Premier League debut, he stepped up and became the youngest ever goal-scorer for the Reds of all time.

This is after last season he became the youngest player to start a game for Liverpool against Accrington in the FA Cup.

He's clearly a huge talent but he's not the only one who has made the breakthrough from U21 football at the club to the first team.

There's a clear pathway from the academy into the senior set-up at Liverpool. This is demonstrated by the fact that the Reds also have Trey Nyoni and over the past few years we've seen the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Caoimhin Kelleher, Conor Bradley and many others break into the first team.

Few teams can compete with that list of players. But Liverpool are never ones to rest on their laurels. The Reds are always looking for more and to become even better.

This is why they have gone ahead and appointed 36-year-old Brazilian coach Luiz Fernando Iubel as their new individual development lead coach as per The Athletic.

For many fans this may seem like 'just' another coach coming to the club but Fernando Iubel has a brilliant track record. He's managed as a head coach in the top flight of Brazil and he has a lot of experience working with younger players.

According to the report from The Athletic, he's worked with a number of young Brazilian stars who then moved onto bigger and better things in Europe, including: Igor Paixao (currently at Marseille), Igor Jesus (Nottingham Forest), Yan Couto (Borussia Dortmund) and Abner Vinicius (Lyon).

Fernando Iubel's role at Liverpool will be similar. He will work with the club's young players in particular across the first team, U21s and U18s.

His mission will be to get the youngsters to raise their levels and unleash the 'next' Ngumoha for Liverpool.

There's plenty of talent for him to work with, too. From Jayden Danns to Joshua Sonni-Lambie, Will Wright and the likes of Joshua Abe, Erik Farkas and Vincent Joseph breaking through at U18 level.

They are all players worth keeping a close eye on and players who Iubel will be looking to get to the next level in their development.

Make no mistakes about it, this is an exciting new arrival at the club. Iubel's work is something Liverpool could be reaping many rewards from in years to come.
