Newcastle United are reportedly preparing a move for Sheyi Ojo. Boro must act quickly.
The Sun reported on Sunday that Newcastle were planning a £10 million move for the Reds winger, who has dropped down the pecking order at the club.
Ojo has been left out of Liverpool’s pre-season trip to Asia to discuss a possible move on his future. However, the Chronicle reports that the Magpies are considering signing him on loan rather than on a permanent basis.

Newcastle’s move should sound as a warning bell for Middlesbrough, who are equally interested in signing Ojo.
The report says that Jurgen Klopp is ready to sanction a short term move for Ojo, and Anfield chiefs have identified Boro as an ideal club for the player’s development.
Liverpool feel that Ojo will get more playing time under Garry Monk than at St James’ Park in the coming season.
Boro should move quickly and secure the signing before Newcastle come up with a more tempting offer.
