Liverpool FC is close to announcing their first signing of the summer, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming that 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha is set to join from Chelsea, following a complicated five-step investigation process due to his age. The Reds are currently the only Premier League team yet to make a signing this transfer window, having seen several players depart at the end of the last season. The club is also considering strengthening their defense with Juventus' Gleison Bremer as a top target, despite potential financial challenges. Meanwhile, reports suggest that Liverpool could pursue West Ham's Jarrod Bowen as a valuable addition, though his high price and age may pose obstacles. As Liverpool embarks on their pre-season tour in the U.S., new manager Arne Slot has emphasized the importance of young talent, with players eager to impress. The team's upcoming matches against Arsenal and Manchester United will further test their preparations for the new season.
