NEWSROUND WITH DAVE DAVIS | LIVERPOOL FC NEWS & TRANSFER LATEST PART 1
Dave Davis returns with another edition of Newsround, covering the latest Liverpool FC news as the Reds prepare to face Brighton at Anfield.
Rio Ngumoha takes centre stage following his impressive recent performances, with Andoni Iraola praising the young winger's attitude, development and willingness to learn. Dave examines how Liverpool are carefully managing his minutes while giving him the confidence to flourish in the first team.
With reports suggesting contract talks are ongoing and Bayern Munich previously showing interest, Dave explains why securing Ngumoha's long-term future must become a priority for Liverpool.
Attention also turns to Liverpool's attacking options, with Alexander Isak discussing the team's enormous potential and Iraola outlining the intensity he expects from his forwards. Cody Gakpo earns particular praise, with the Liverpool boss describing him as one of the squad's most underrated players.
Dave also discusses the latest injury updates ahead of Brighton, including Dominik Szoboszlai, Víctor Muñoz, Jeremie Frimpong and Bradley Barcola.
Elsewhere, Alexis Mac Allister's contract situation raises fresh questions. Despite his outstanding performances and growing importance under Iraola, reports suggest Liverpool are not currently planning to offer the World Cup winner a new deal.
Can Liverpool secure Ngumoha's future? Is Gakpo finally getting the recognition he deserves? And are the Reds making a mistake with Mac Allister?
All this and more on Newsround with Dave Davis.

Gags Tandon and Grizz Khan return for an emotional and fascinating Chat G&G, reflecting on the impact of Diogo Jota's tragic passing and whether Liverpool's struggles last season were judged too harshly. The pair also debate Alexis Mac Allister's resurgence before turning their attention to Trent Alexander-Arnold's uncertain future at Real Madrid. With Chelsea reportedly interested in a £60m move, could a sensational Liverpool return actually make sense? Would Trent's creativity transform Andoni Iraola's side, or has that chapter firmly closed?
Three wins in a row for the Reds and it’s also three from three in the Champions League, but as Jim Boardman and Jay Reid discuss, up next is arguably the toughest game of the season so far.
