Sheyi Ojo

After spending last season on loan at Fulham, Sheyi Ojo has returned to Anfield and is in the frame for first team action – especially after a goal and assist during pre-season.

The right-sided forward hasn’t spoken to Klopp about his plans for the future, said the Liverpool Echo, but he’s impressed so far and that’s all the manager has asked for.

Ojo suffered a few injuries during his time in London and is wanted by Stoke City, reported the newspaper, so there is interest for Championship sides. And it’s now up to Klopp to decide what to do.

There is loads of competition for places among the youngsters breaking through, with Wilson, Kent and Ojo all competing for the same place.
