Roy Hodgson Adamant That David Ngog Will Not Leave The Club This Summer

Roy Hodgson insists that striker David Ngog will not be leaving Liverpool this summer after enjoying an impressive pre-season.

The Frenchman’s double against Rabotnicki in Macedonia gave the Reds an impressive 2-0 win to open up their Europa League campaign on Thursday.

Hodgson was pleased with the performance of his young side in Skopje, and was especially impressed with Ngog’s display.

The 21-year-old has been tipped to leave Anfield this summer, but Hodgson is adamant that Ngog will not be leaving the club.

"I can't stop players being linked with other clubs, but I never discussed him leaving Liverpool,” Hodgson told The Mirror.

"I have been very impressed with him. I think Ngog has worked very hard in training and done very well in the pre-season games, and he crowned his hard work with an impressive performance.

"The goals will be a big weight off him mind, and give him confidence. Front players need goals, and he has got them, which means he can relax.

“He has shown us that he has the movement and touch, and quality, and I'm pleased for him."
