Stu Forster/Getty Images Former Liverpool defender Martin Kelly has revealed he can see shades of Raheem Sterling in Reds talent Rio Ngumoha, following an impressive 65-minute performance against Tottenham Hotspur. The teen talent has played a growing role this season under Arne Slot, making 12 Premier League appearances and etching his name in the club’s history as the youngest scorer with a stoppage-time winner against Newcastle United last August, while also appearing twice on the Champions League stage.

Kelly reflected on Ngumoha’s development, emphasising the importance of regular playing time for his growth. Club played for Liverpool Manchester City Chelsea Arsenal Feyenoord Clubs Raheem Sterling has played for Kelly said on LFC TV’s Reaction (17:11): “I think the one thing on that was when Raheem stepped up and made his break in.

“When he was 17, he only played a handful of games, and the next season he played 28, so he’s following right in the footsteps of that. “He gives that much when he’s got the ball “He’s not wanting to even pass it and move, he wants to get straight at the defenders, so it takes so much out of you as a player.” After failing to win their last two matches, Liverpool sit on the edge of the top four, just two points behind Aston Villa, with a former top-flight star warning that the Reds could miss out as the Villans’ run looks less challenging.
