Coagh United Overview

Rio Ngumoha has been told what the “next step” is for him, with Liverpool legend John Barnes looking for more experience and end product from a teenage wonderkid that does not need to worry about “beating five players”. At 17 years of age, the England hopeful is looking to build on a breakthrough campaign at Anfield that delivered 29 appearances and two goals.

Jude Bellingham is “not Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo” and cannot “win games by himself”, John Barnes has told GOAL, with the England and Real Madrid superstar considered to be more of a Bryan Robson-esque No.8 than a creative No.10. The all-action midfielder has often been pushed into a more advanced role, but his ability is maximised when operating in a deeper-lying berth.

Inter Milan are reportedly plotting a late summer move for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones as they look to complete their squad. The Italian champions have already reached an agreement with the player while negotiations continue over a transfer fee.

Elliot Anderson is determined to transform his international heartbreak into domestic glory as he prepares for his Manchester City debut. The former Nottingham Forest midfielder admitted that England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina remains a painful memory, but he is now focused on cementing his place in Enzo Maresca’s new-look side.
