Transfer: John Terry reacts as Chelsea star joins Liverpool

Chelsea legend, John Terry, has wished Rio Ngumoha well after the young winger left the club to join Premier League rivals, Liverpool.

Ngumoha, who featured for Chelsea’s Under-21 side at the age of 15, signed a scholar’s contract with Liverpool.

The England youth international will begin in Liverpool’s Under-18 side.

According to The Athletic, the final stages of the deal have now been ratified by the Premier League but a tribunal may still have to be set up to agree a compensation fee between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Ngumoha could make his debut for Liverpool against Blackburn Rovers next Saturday.

The 16-year-old announced the move on his Instagram on Wednesday with the caption: “Delighted to sign for Liverpool YNWA.”

Responding, Terry, who is Chelsea’s current academy coach, said: “Goodluck mate.”
