Rio Ngumoha signs first professional contract with Liverpool
Liverpool starlet Rio Ngumoha has signed his first professional contract at the club after turning 17 last month.
The winger, whose match-winning goal at Newcastle in August made him the club's youngest goal-scorer aged 16 years and 361 days, has enjoyed a rapid rise through the ranks and has been rewarded with a three-year deal.

Giovanni Leoni set for several months out as Liverpool defender suspects serious knee injury
Giovanni Leoni has suffered a suspected torn anterior cruciate ligament and will struggle to feature again this season in a heartbreaking injury blow for Liverpool.
The 18-year-old Italian defender made his Reds debut in their 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Southampton on Tuesday, vastly impressing in the process before hitting the deck in sickening fashion with 10 minutes to play.
Leoni immediately looked in considerable pain, also appearing to hit head on the hard surface just off the pitch, and was stretchered off after receiving treatment.

William Saliba to sign new long-term Arsenal contract after resisting Real Madrid interest
William Saliba has agreed a new long-term contract at Arsenal.
The 24-year-old centre-back had entered the final two years of his previous deal at the Gunners and The Independent reported that Real Madrid were interested in signing the France international.

Erling Haaland injury update: Will Man City striker be fit to face Burnley?
Erling Haaland faces a race to be fit for Manchester City’s upcoming Premier League game with Burnley after he was forced off with a back injury at the weekend.
The Norwegian came off after 76 minutes against Arsenal when he complained of pain in his back, having opened the scoring at the Emirates. Arsenal dominated proceedings however and escaped with a point as neither side made headway in the title race, drawing 1-1.
Haaland missed City’s 2-0 win at Huddersfield Town in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, with manager Pep Guardiola fielding a much-changed team. Goals from Phil Foden and Savinho were enough to progress into the fourth round.

Mikel Arteta pleased with Arsenal's squad depth after Carabao Cup win
Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal's performance in Wednesday's 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Port Vale shows the depth he now has in his squad as he was able to make nine changes from Sunday's Premier League draw with Manchester City.
Only William Saliba and Mikel Merino started both games, but Arteta still named a strong team at Vale Park with Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka in attack, Christian Norgaard making his first start for the club in the centre of midfield, and a debut in goal for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Summing up Arsenal's performance, Arteta said: "It was something that we discussed before the game, what was at stake in this game was your reputation, as a club, as a team, as an individual.”
Luca Williams-Barnett reflects on 'crazy' Tottenham debut in Carabao Cup
Luca Williams-Barnett admitted it felt "crazy" to make his Tottenham debut aged 16.
Academy starlet Williams-Barnett came on for the final seven minutes of Spurs' 3-0 Carabao Cup win over Doncaster.
"I'm over the moon, just coming out to play for my boyhood club, it's crazy really," the attacker told Spurs Play.
"It felt very fast. I'm used to (under) 21s but when I came out I thought 'yeah, they're quick'. I need to get used to that.
"I was quite cool and composed. When I got out on to the pitch I just wanted to get the ball."
Mikel Arteta delighted with Eberechi Eze impact after first Arsenal goal
Mikel Arteta wants to see more from Eberechi Eze but was delighted to see his new signing get off the mark for Arsenal.
“That's why we got him - to win football matches. He should've scored another two I think,” Arteta said.
"His position depends on the players around him. There were certain moments where the space closed, so we moved him somewhere else.
“He is a player who has to be in touch with the ball and we have to find ways to do that."

Reigan and Jaden Heskey, the sons of former England and striker Emile Heskey, both made their first-team debuts for Manchester City as Pep Guardiola’s side progressed past Huddersfield Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Jaden, 19, was the first to make his debut when he replaced Nico O’Reilly in the 76th minute, by which point City were ahead by two goals after strikes from Phil Foden and Savinho. Reigan, 17, then made his debut around six minutes later.

Eberechi Eze shines with first Arsenal goal as Gunners progress in Carabao Cup
Eberechi Eze got his first Arsenal goal as Mikel Arteta’s men laboured to beat League One Port Vale 2-0 in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
After Eze struck just eight minutes into the match this should have turned into a comfortable night for the Gunners against a side who, despite back-to-back wins sit 19th in the third tier, but they struggled to create clear chances until substitute Leandro Trossard finished it off in the 86th minute.
