Alex Iwobi Backs Rio Ngumoha Over Max Dowman After Anfield Duel
Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi admitted his view shifted after facing Liverpool’s teenage winger Rio Ngumoha. Speaking on a podcast with Chelsea defender Levi Colwill, Iwobi said he originally favoured Arsenal’s Max Dowman but found Ngumoha “a handful” at Anfield. Ngumoha’s display convinced Iwobi that the 17-year-old edges out Dowman, despite the Arsenal talent’s record as the youngest Premier League scorer at 16 years and 73 days. Both teens have rewritten the record books this season. Dowman set his landmark in March, while Ngumoha became Liverpool’s youngest-ever goalscorer at 16 years and 361 days and later at 17 years and 225 days. With his stock rising, Ngumoha remains eligible to switch his international allegiance to Nigeria at senior level.
