Rio Ngumoha was the star of the night for Liverpool against Villarreal but how far can he go and what is his ceiling? What is Julian Ward’s role on his return to Liverpool?

It has been suggested that Liverpool are looking to ‘establish a number of strategic partnerships with clubs in mainland Europe’, so they can get help to ‘assist’ with some of their next big stars. These plans are being ‘spearheaded’ by Ward, and their ‘challenge’ is to find the ‘right next step’ for Liverpool’s youngsters trying to break into Andoni Iraola’s first team.
