Liverpool Teen Rio Ngumoha Sparks Calls for Super Eagles Switch
A video of 17-year-old Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha proudly wearing Nigeria’s iconic 1996 “Dream Team” jersey has fuelled debate about his international future. Nigerian fans on social media have urged the NFF to move quickly, with supporters calling for an invitation to the Super Eagles and arguing this is the perfect moment to secure his services. Ngumoha enjoyed a breakout 2025/26 season at Anfield under Arne Slot. He made 17 Premier League appearances, scored two goals, and set a record as the youngest Liverpool goalscorer with a 100th-minute winner. Eligible for England, Nigeria, Ireland, Jamaica and others through his heritage, the teenager remains uncapped at senior level. His camp is focusing on club development, but Nigeria’s fans and officials now see their chance to win his commitment.
