**Arsenal** is closely monitoring left-winger **Rio Ngumoha**, an **18-year-old**, with an eye on the upcoming winter transfer market. The intention of Arsenal's next transfer window is to add a left winger who can compete with Tzolis and Eze.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, Arsenal's technical secretariat, led by Mikel Arteta, is monitoring the progress of the Liverpool player, waiting for a potential change in his role if he doesn't establish himself on the left flank of Anfield.
**Rio Ngumoha's Role with Andoni Iraola and Liverpool's Stance**
The **18-year-old** attacker has started gaining prominence under coach Andoni Iraola, featuring in **4 official matches** and **2 starts** at the beginning of the **2026-2027 season**.
The player joined Liverpool in **2024** from Chelsea's youth ranks for a compensation fee of **2.8 million pounds** (**3.3 million euros**), holding a valid professional contract for two more seasons, signed in **September 2025**.
Valued at **30.00 million euros** on Transfermarkt and having **11 international appearances** (**1 goal**) with the England U-19 national team, the player is also on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid. However, Liverpool's management considers the winger an essential piece of their project and rejects any transfer intentions.
**Mikel Arteta's Alternatives for the Left Wing**
**Arsenal**'s interest in the talent from Anfield is to strengthen the left wing in Mikel Arteta's system. After failing to secure the signings of Morgan Rogers and Vinícius Júnior during the previous summer transfer window, the London club currently competes with Christos Tzolis as the main option in that position.
Arsenal's chances of trying to sign the English forward in **2027** depend on his lack of playing time under Andoni Iraola and his decision to seek minutes away from Merseyside.
Arsenal's scouts will assess the winger's minutes and starts during Liverpool's matches in the Premier League and European competitions in the coming months. If the player continues to lack opportunities in Liverpool's starting eleven, Arsenal's management plans to initiate talks with Rio Ngumoha's representatives in the summer transfer window of 2027.
