The Liverpool winger can reportedly choose between Derby County, Fulham and Middlesbrough.

Derby County have entered the race to sign Liverpool’s Sheyi Ojo on loan, according to The Times.

Sky Sports reported on Tuesday that three clubs, Fulham, Middlesbrough and Newcastle United, had reached agreements with Ojo’s club regarding a short-term deal.

However, Newcastle are no longer thought to be in the running to sign the 20-year-old winger.

The Times reports that Ojo was watched by Derby boss Gary Rowett during Liverpool’s friendly against Tranmere Rovers last week, and now has a choice of Derby, Fulham and Middlesbrough as to which club he wants to play for this coming campaign.

Derby have sold Tom Ince to Huddersfield Town this summer, and left-footed Ojo would be a like-for-like replacement the former Liverpool winger.

Ojo, who remains football’s most expensive 14-year-old following his 2011 transfer from Milton Keynes Dons, could join his ex-Anfield teammate Andre Wisdom at Pride Park.
