David N'Gog (born April 1, 1989 in Gennevilliers, Hauts-de-Seine) is a French footballer who plays as a striker or a winger for Liverpool. He started his career with Paris Saint-Germain, after signing his first professional contract in June 2006, aged 17. His cousins include Lyon & French international player Jean-Alain Boumsong and his brother Yannick Boumsong.[3]
Playing career
Despite only scoring once in 18 league games for the French side PSG, N'Gog has been prolific for the national side at many youth levels. He scored twice in a 2-0 victory over England U19s in 2007. He got his first professional taste of success with PSG when he was an unused substitute in the Coupe de la Ligue Final 2008.
Liverpool
N'Gog signed for Liverpool on July 24, 2008 on a four year contract for a reported fee of £1.5 million.[4][5] Manager Rafa Benítez hailed his scouting network after his signing, saying that "They are finding players like N'Gog, players with quality who are not a high price".[6] N'gog played his first game for Liverpool in a friendly game against Villareal on the 30th July 2008 and scored his first goal one game later against Rangers in another pre-season friendly. He then followed this up by scoring Liverpool's final goal in their next pre-season friendly, a 4-1 win over Norwegian side Vålerenga IF. He made his Premier League debut against Aston Villa coming on for Fernando Torres. N'Gog scored his first goal for Liverpool in their 3–1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League.[7] N'gog made his first start for Liverpool on 7 February 2009 against Portsmouth, and scored his first league goal on 3 March 2009 against Sunderland FC in a 2-0 win at Anfield.[8] N'gog went on to score his second league goal for the club on the 11 April 2009 against Blackburn Rovers in an emphatic 4-0 win.[9]
