Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey believes Rio Ngumoha could eventually be tempted by a move to Bayern Munich, although he insists the teenager should first establish himself at Anfield.
“There will always be temptation when clubs like Arsenal are coming around, and especially Bayern,” Heskey said.
“The reason I say Bayern is because Rio will be looking at Kane, he’ll be looking at Olise and he’ll be looking at Jude and Jobe Bellingham’s going over to Germany and doing well, and you can’t not do well at Bayern.
“So there will be that sort of temptation, but as a young lad you always wanna try and do well first where you are before you actually start branching out. So I do believe that he’ll want to stake his claim and really cement himself at Liverpool first and then move on.”
Heskey also believes Ngumoha has the ability to break into the England setup, but says the 18-year-old must improve his goals and assists.
Bayern Munich and Arsenal have reportedly monitored the winger, but Liverpool view him as an important part of their long-term plans. With increased competition for places, however, regular first-team football could become crucial to his development.
