Salah offers advice to the 17-year-old prodigy Ngumoha

Mohamed Salah praised and gave special advice to the young talent Rio Ngumoha after the 17-year-old scored the decisive goal to help Liverpool beat Newcastle 3-2, raising hopes for a blend of experience and youth at Anfield.

Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is not only adapting to the club’s expensive summer signings but also has the chance to play alongside the 17-year-old prodigy Rio Ngumoha. This young talent made a strong impression by scoring the winning goal in the 3-2 victory over Newcastle, assisted by Salah, showing rare confidence and composure for his age.

Witnessing that moment, Salah expressed satisfaction and offered much advice to his younger teammate. The Egyptian star shared: “What lies ahead for him depends on how he handles situations. He needs to work hard and stay humble because he’s still very young. I’ve also mentioned that some players peak too early and then face difficulties later. I truly wish him all the best.”

Salah emphasized the importance of humility and discipline in a young player’s development. He added: “He has a supportive group around him, including teammates and coaches who constantly talk to and guide him. So, the most important thing for him now is to stay focused, work hard, and let things happen naturally.”

Salah’s advice not only holds value for Ngumoha but also reflects the experience of a player who has gone through many ups and downs in his career. With Liverpool placing high hopes on the youth generation, the combination of veterans like Salah and the ambition of emerging talents promises to be a strong force for the Merseyside club in the 2025/26 season.

The emergence of Rio Ngumoha is also seen as a positive sign for Liverpool’s rebuilding journey. If he knows how to seize the opportunity, the 17-year-old prodigy could become an inspiring successor, continuing the legacy of Mohamed Salah and The Kop’s golden generation.
