John Terry makes bold prediction for Chelsea starlet who has joined Liverpool: A glimpse into the future

web editor  

At the end of last season, the 15-year-old decided to part ways with his childhood club and his transfer to Anfield has now been officially announced.

Already an England youth international, Ngumoha has signed a scholar’s contract and will go straight into Liverpool’s Under-18 squad.

Terry congratulated Ngumoha upon with a message on social media once his move to the Merseyside giants had been rubberstamped and went a step further replying to a post on Instagram predicting that the gifted teenager will be a ‘top player’.

Ngumoha reportedly even trained with the Blues’ first team at points last season and has two goals and two assists in his nine games for England Under-16s.

Despite being at Chelsea throughout the age groups, the teenager is said to have been keen on the move due to Liverpool’s track record of providing a clear pathway into the first team for younger talents.

It has been another summer of upheaval at Chelsea, both on and off the pitch, and another significant change was confirmed on Thursday when it was announced that chief executive Chris Jurasek had left the club to be replaced by Jason Gannon.

Jurasek will return to Clearlake Capital, the co-controlling owners of Chelsea, after just over a year in the role at the club.

‘I am incredibly proud to have led this historic football club into its next chapter,’ Jurasek said.

‘We have accomplished the task of building a team both on and off the pitch that means the club is well-positioned for long-term success.’

During his time at the helm, Jurasek made several decisions that were met with disapproval by Chelsea’s match-going supporters, including referring to them as customers rather than fans.

He also ended a long-standing bus subsidy for away fans and implemented the first general admission season ticket price increases in over a decade.
