Rio Ngumoha thrived off the right and scored the only goal in Liverpool's pre-season win over Wrexham in New York, leaving Andoni Iraola with a potential transfer conundrum.
The 17-year-old sensation saw his deflected effort loop in off Wrexham defender Lewis Brunt in the 75th minute, an action which proved the difference at the famous Yankee Stadium.
A night which saw the Reds launch their new away kit, Ngumoha was brought on as a second-half substitute by Iraola and was deployed at right wing, a position that is currently central to Liverpool's transfer plans after the departure of Mohamed Salah at the end of last season.
Liverpool have been heavily linked with a big-money move for Paris Saint-Germain's Bradley Barcola, with widespread reports claiming the club are readying an opening bid.
After Ngumoha's impressive cameo, however, it remains to be seen how willing Liverpool will be to break the bank for Barcola, particularly given their desire to avoid hindering the highly-rated youngster's development.
