Newsround Part 2

Dave Davis examines the latest Liverpool transfer and contract developments, with Rio Ngumoha's future emerging as a major talking point following fresh reports of Bayern Munich's previous interest in the talented youngster.

With Bayern reportedly willing to offer around £60million for Ngumoha before Liverpool made it clear he was not for sale, Dave discusses the teenager's soaring valuation, his growing importance under Andoni Iraola and why securing a new contract must be a priority for Julian Ward.

Attention also turns to Alexis Mac Allister, with reports suggesting Liverpool could open negotiations over a new deal despite earlier indications that an extension was unlikely. Could keeping the Argentine midfielder influence Liverpool's plans for the January transfer window?

Dave also assesses the continued links with Alex Scott, Lamine Kamara, Manu Koné and Felix Nmecha, while Trey Nyoni's rapid development raises further questions about the need for immediate midfield reinforcements.

Elsewhere, Liverpool's reported interest in Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch and potential future goalkeeping options comes under scrutiny, with uncertainty surrounding Alisson's long-term future.
