Sheyi Ojo has netted five goals for Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers in all competitions.
It’s early days, but it looks like Rangers have found a cracking player in Sheyi Ojo.
The 22-year-old winger joined the Gers on a season-long loan from Liverpool and if he maintains his form, Steven Gerrard might try to keep him in Glasgow for the long term.
Ojo is a replacement for Daniel Candeias at Rangers and in terms of goalscoring, the loanee is a huge upgrade on the Portuguese.
We have just entered October and the youngster is only one goal away from equalling Candeias’s haul from the entire 2018-19 campaign.
With five goals across all competitions – including the winner in the Europa League victory over Feyenoord two weeks ago – Ojo is certain to smash the 31-year-old’s six-goal haul from last term.
Of course, Candeias, signed by Pedro Caixinha in 2017, brought other things to the table as a wide option, but goals are much more valuable commodity and it looks like the Liverpool product is going to be a huge asset in this respect.
Candeias, now with Genclerbirligi, is yet to open his account for the Turkish side.
Rangers visit Young Boys in their second Europa League outing tomorrow, and if Ojo scores once and equals Candeias’s record from last season then few can argue that Gerrard hasn’t found a much better player.
