Liverpool have learned how much they must pay Chelsea for teenage forward Rio Ngumoha after a Premier League tribunal set the compensation fee for his move.
Ngumoha left Chelsea’s academy to join Liverpool, with the clubs unable to agree terms over the amount due for his development. The case was then referred to a tribunal, which has now delivered its decision.
The ruling confirms the exact figure Liverpool will have to pay Chelsea as compensation, ending the dispute and providing clarity on the cost of the transfer.
Ngumoha is regarded as one of the standout talents of his age group, and Liverpool moved to bring him into their youth set-up as part of their ongoing recruitment drive for elite academy prospects.
With the tribunal decision now in place, the focus shifts fully to the player’s progress at Anfield, while Chelsea will receive the tribunal-set payment for his time in their system.
