Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo is now expected to secure an exit before next Tuesday’s transfer deadline, after almost 10 years at Anfield.
That’s according to Goal, who claim that Ojo knows he needs to leave Liverpool, and is expected to finalise a move away before the deadline.
A number of clubs have been asking Liverpool about a deal for Ojo, with Werder Bremen keen alongside teams in Belgium and Greece.
Liverpool are seeking around £5million for Ojo, and it’s unclear whether anybody will actually come forward and meet that asking price.
Ojo, 24, joined Liverpool from Milton Keynes Dons in November 2011, meaning he has spent almost 10 years on Liverpool’s books.
He has only managed 13 appearances for the Reds though, spending most of his time out on loan in England, Scotland, Wales and France.
Last term, Ojo fared well with Cardiff City, notching five goals and seven assists for the Bluebirds before heading back to Anfield.
Mick McCarthy’s men almost certainly can’t afford to bring Ojo back to South Wales, and previous loan side Rangers are unlikely to be in the race.
Steven Gerrard did hail Ojo at Rangers, claiming he has ‘got everything’ to be a star, but needed to apply himself more to really maximise his potential.
That just hasn’t happened, and with just five days of the transfer window to go, Ojo looks set for a new start elsewhere.
