Liverpool \u2018will be fuming\u2019 with a reported approach by Bayern Munich for Rio Ngumoha in recent days, according to a former chief scout at Premier League level.<\/p>\n

Last week, The Athletic<\/a>\u2018s David Ornstein broke the news that the Bundesliga champions have been \u2018exploring a surprise move\u2019 for the 17-year-old, who\u2019s said to be \u2018aware of Bayern\u2019s strong interest and intentions\u2019, although the Bavarian club hadn\u2019t yet contacted the Reds.<\/p>\n

Merseyside chiefs have duly maintained that the winger \u2013 who impressed on his senior debut for England<\/a> last Saturday \u2013 is not for sale under any circumstances.<\/p>\n

Liverpool \u2018will be fuming\u2019 over Bayern approaching Ngumoha<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Football Insider<\/a>, Mick Brown claimed that Liverpool will be seething over the manner in which Bayern have purportedly approached Ngumoha behind their backs.<\/p>\n

The ex-Manchester United chief scout said: \u201cLiverpool will be doing everything in their power to stop Ngumoha leaving. They\u2019ve already lost Salah, and this young lad has come into the team and made a splash.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s obviously got great talent and they rate him very highly, so they need look no further than the options they\u2019ve already got available, because he already looks like he\u2019s ready to come in and play a regular part in the side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always under the impression that approaching players without the club\u2019s knowledge was illegal, but it always seems to happen and to be allowed to happen. Of course, these things happen, but it\u2019s not usually as out in the open as this has been, and that\u2019s not going to go down well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no doubt Liverpool will be fuming, because their best talents are being approached by clubs like Bayern Munich and they have no knowledge of it. Liverpool are not going to let that happen, they\u2019re not going to let him go, and especially not to Bayern Munich now that this has happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not a chance that Ngumoha leaves Liverpool any time soon<\/p>\n

Considering the impact Ngumoha has made at first-team level at such a young age and his enormous potential to develop into a truly world-class star, he\u2019ll be among the last players that Liverpool would be open to selling this summer.<\/p>\n

That Bayern have seemingly approached him without the Reds\u2019 knowledge will surely have put noises out of joint in the Anfield boardroom, and as Brown says, it\u2019ll have made Merseyside chiefs all the more determined to hold onto him and firmly reject any further expressions of interest from Munich.<\/p>\n

Also, with Andoni Iraola having a track record for trusting in youth (and openly pledging to do so<\/a> after taking the reins at LFC), we can expect to see plenty more of the 17-year-old in the Premier League and Champions League next season.<\/p>\n

Nothwithstanding Ngumoha\u2019s exceptional early-career trajectory, Liverpool have a sparsity of attacking options as things stand, with Mo Salah having left the club and Hugo Ekitike not expected back from injury for another few months.<\/p>\n

Therefore, any notion that they\u2019d even entertain the idea of selling the gifted no.73 to Bayern this summer is downright laughable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool \u2018will be fuming\u2019 with a reported approach by Bayern Munich for Rio Ngumoha in recent days, according…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-492410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
