Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha has revealed why he decided to leave Chelsea for the Reds.
The 18-year-old departed Chelsea in the summer of 2024 after spending eight years in the club’s academy.
Speaking to The Telegraph about his decision, Ngumoha said he wanted a fresh challenge.
“I feel like I needed a new challenge,” he said, according to LFC Transfer Room on X.
“I feel like if I stayed at Chelsea, I’m not saying that I would not have got to the first team as quick, because I believe in my ability, but I feel like Liverpool just gave me a new pathway.
“For me, it was a no-brainer going to Liverpool,” he said.
Ngumoha’s current contract with Liverpool will expire in 2028.
