Liverpool have completed the signing of highly-rated teenage forward Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea.

The Premier League approved the deal on Wednesday after the Reds passed the five-step review which is common practice when a young player wishes to move between two category one academies.

It comes after reports in July that the 16-year-old wished to leave Chelsea and make the switch to Anfield.

Chelsea, who under Todd Boehly’s ownership have consistently spent big money on youngsters, were reported to be furious about the prospect of losing Ngumoha.
