Ngumoha: I will win Ballon d’Or

Exciting Liverpool youngster with Nigerian roots Rio Ngumoha has backed himself to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or reserved for the best player in the world.

Liverpool winger Rio Ngumoha, 18, made his Premier League debut last season, and has also received plenty of playing time recently.

Now the 18-year-old is dreaming big. He wants to follow in the footsteps of Bayern Munich star Harry Kane and win the Ballon d’Or at some point in the future.

“It’s something I would also like to achieve and I believe I can do it,” Ngumoha told The Athletic.

The 18-year-old said that Kane is an inspiration.

“Harry Kane winning the Ballon d’Or is obviously a big deal, as he has now been named the best player in the world. It has also helped English football, as everyone has now seen one of us win the Ballon d’Or. It inspires a lot of people to also be recognised as the best player in the world,” he remarked.

Ngumoha has already made three senior appearances for England.

He has two assists in 14 appearances for Liverpool this season.
