'Excellent prospect' Ngumoha stars for Liverpool - but who is he?

Liverpool's second youngest ever player Rio Ngumoha shone again in pre-season to get fans wondering if he could be part of the first team this year.

The England Under-17 forward, who turns 17 later this month, scored and assisted in their Anfield return against Athletic Bilbao.

The Reds were playing the Basque side in two pre-season friendlies - at 17:00 and 20:00 BST.

It was a mostly second string XI that started the first game, with Ngumoha on the left wing - and he caught the eye as he has done all summer.

He scored in just the second minute as he ran onto a loose ball in his own half before racing forward and curling a fine effort in from 20 yards out.
