MEDIA MATTERS WITH DAVE DAVIS & DAVID LYNCH | PART 2
Dave Davis is joined by Liverpool journalist David Lynch for Part 2 of Media Matters on Anfield Index, with the focus shifting to Liverpool's crucial contract negotiations and the future of several important first-team players.
Following Liverpool's dramatic 4-3 Champions League victory over Villarreal, Rio Ngumoha's future at Anfield is firmly in the spotlight.
The teenager's outstanding performances have made securing his long-term future an increasingly important priority. However, Lynch's information suggests negotiations over a new contract have not progressed significantly, despite more optimistic reports elsewhere.
Dave and David examine the situation, why Liverpool still have time to reach an agreement and why the club will want to avoid allowing uncertainty to grow around one of its brightest young talents.
Attention also turns to Virgil van Dijk and Alexis Mac Allister, with Liverpool facing important decisions over the futures of two experienced and influential players.
The pair consider the challenge facing Liverpool's recruitment department as Julian Ward balances contract renewals with plans to strengthen Andoni Iraola's squad.
With Ngumoha emerging as one of Europe's most exciting young attackers, Van Dijk remaining a central figure in Liverpool's defence and Mac Allister continuing to demonstrate his quality, the decisions made behind the scenes could have a significant impact on the club's future.
Are Liverpool moving quickly enough to secure their key players, and which contracts should be at the top of Julian Ward's priority list?
All this and more in Part 2 of Media Matters with Dave Davis and David Lynch, exclusively on Anfield Index.
