After spending the last six years jumping from club to club, Reims to Rangers, Wolves to Wigan, has Sheyi Ojo finally found a home in South Wales?
Since joining Cardiff City on yet another loan deal last summer, the Liverpool-owned winger is finally starting to make good on his potential, producing on a twice-weekly basis for a Bluebirds side storming up the Championship table at a rate of knots.
Ojo was in irrepressible form once again as Mick McCarthy’s winning-machine steamrollered Derby County on Tuesday night.
Ojo bagged his seventh assist of the season when setting up Leandro Bacuna’s 56th-minute effort in a 4-0 thrashing that was every bit as one-sided as the score-line suggests.
The 23-year-old has scored a further five goals himself in Cardiff colours – making 2020/21 the most prolific league campaign of his nomadic career.
Some eye-catching displays against the likes of Derby, Luton and Rotherham United won’t be enough to earn Ojo a run of games in Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side, of course.
After a never-ending series of short-term stays, this feels like the ideal time to finally cut himself free of Anfield for good.
It remains to be seen whether Cardiff can stump up the sort of fee Liverpool want – the Reds are renowned for demanding huge sums for even seldom-seen youngsters – but Ojo would certainly be welcomed back with open arms in South Wales.
