West Bromwich Albion are reportedly keen on signing the Liverpool winger.

Sheyi Ojo of Liverpool FC looks to get by Gabriel Paletta of AC Milan during the International Champions Cup match at Levi's Stadium on July 30, 2016 in Santa Clara, California.

According to a report from the Guardian (print version, July 26th, page 41) West Brom are interested in signing Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo this summer.

Darren Moore is desperate to add more firepower to his attacking ranks at the Hawthorns before his side’s Championship campaign kicks off next month, and Ojo, 21, could be just the man for the job.

According to the Guardian, the Baggies have registered an interest in signing the Liverpool winger.

He is valued at £15 million by the Reds – a fee that West Brom would easily be able to afford, what with the parachute payments they received after suffering relegation from the Premier League.

What would Ojo bring to the Baggies?

The Liverpool youngster possesses blistering pace, and that combined with his direct paying style would certainly help West Brom improve upon the potency of their attacking play.

Ojo has so much potential, and could go on to become a truly elite player, so the reported fee of just £15 million might just end up looking like mere pocket change for the Black Country outfit.

The pacey Reds ace can play anywhere along the front-line, and he would provide Moore with an entirely different option to what he currently has at his disposal at the Hawthorns, and signing him would be a no-brainer for the West Brom boss.
