Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha says his contract extension talks are progressing well, despite Arsenal transfer speculation.

Rio Ngumoha, Liverpool's 18-year-old winger, has indicated that his contract extension negotiations with the club are progressing positively. The England international has become a regular in Andoni Iraola's side this season, featuring in five of the club's opening seven league matches and starting in their cup competitions.

Ngumoha has attracted attention from other top European clubs. Metro reports that Arsenal have emerged as a potential destination for the teenager, with the Gunners keen on attacking reinforcements. The Daily Mail Sport notes that Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have also kept close tabs on his situation. However, Ngumoha appears focused on his Liverpool future, telling reporters after the Reds' comeback victory over Brentford on Saturday that transfer matters are 'all with my agent now'.

The winger has also spoken of the influence of fellow England internationals Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka, saying he learns from training and playing alongside them at international level. Ngumoha, who joined Liverpool from Chelsea in 2024, has been learning to play on both flanks under Iraola's coaching.
