West Bromwich Albion are reportedly close to agreeing a £12 million deal for Liverpool ace Sheyi Ojo, but the winger is currently less keen on a move.
Ojo is one of the players that the Reds are reportedly ready to cash in on this summer as Jurgen Klopp seemingly oversees a clear-out at Anfield. And it appears that Liverpool are more than happy to sell the 21-year-old to the Baggies.
The Sun on Sunday adds that Liverpool plan to sell to the highest bidder, which will perhaps hand West Brom an advantage over Fulham given the respective pursuits. It remains to be seen whether the Hornets decide to make a permanent move for Ojo.
It would certainly be a boost to Darren Moore’s side if they could see off competition for Ojo’s signature, especially if that competition comes from top flight sides.
The Baggies’ Championship campaign got off to a poor start as they were beaten 2-1 at home by Bolton Wanderers on Saturday. It was a winger signing however, who gave the fans something to smile about with Leicester loanee Harvey Barnes scoring a stunning goal in the defeat.
