Liverpool seal transfer deal for England Under-21 star

Liverpool have agreed to send England Under-21 star Sheyi Ojo on loan to Glasgow Rangers as the player is in Scotland to seal the deal.

Liverpool Football Club appear to have completed a transfer deal to send Sheyi Ojo to Glasgow Rangers on-loan for the 2019/20 season after the player was spotted at his new club.

The BBC is reporting that the England youth international is poised to take his medical and the deal will be announced once that is complete.

He will be linking up with former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard who is now manager at Ibrox. He is once again using his Anfield links to get a great deal for his new side as Ojo follows Ryan Kent, Ovie Ejaria and Jon Flanagan as players with links to the Reds.

Kent had a hugely successful spell at Rangers and Gerrard wanted to bring him there permanently but it appears Liverpool’s transfer demands are too high and they have other interest from Leeds United. The Ojo deal means that Kent will likely start pre-season challenging for a place in Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

Ejaria did not have as happy a loan spell north of the border. The highly rated midfielder only managed half a season before finishing out the term on-loan at Reading in the Championship.

Sheyi Ojo was touted as a future Liverpool star and made his England Under-21 debut in 2017 after featuring for England youth teams for years. However successive loan deals have been underwhelming.

He signed a new contract last year but that appears only so Liverpool can secure a fee for him if and when he leaves.
