Newcastle Hoping To Beat Boro, Burnley In Race For Football's Most Expensive 14-Year-Old

Newly promoted Premier League club Newcastle United are in pole position for the signature of England U20 international Sheyi Ojo, according to reports in the English press.

The Independent claims The Magpies are at the front of the queue to sign Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo on loan for next season but face competition from two other teams.

Burnley and Middlesbrough are also jostling for the signature of the highly-rated winger, who starred at the 2017 Fifa U20 World Cup in South Korea.

The 20-year-old Ojo previously had loan spells with Wigan Athletic and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

He made only two appearances for the first team of Liverpool last term.
