Official: Liverpool Confirm Nigerian Winger Will Be Loaned Out Not Sold

In an interview with the official website of Liverpool, manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Nigerian winger Sheyi Ojo will be loaned out before the transfer window closes for business.

Though Ojo has impressed in pre-season matches, he has found himself further down the pecking order following the capture of Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke City.

''Here it is a little bit difficult, especially for the offensive players. Ojo played a fantastic pre-season, really good and confident technically anyway, really strong, improved a lot in tactical things and his attitude was great,'' Klopp said.

''For me, he is a no-brainer, to be honest, and I think that will happen. It makes sense for him to go on loan. That’s how it is for a few of the others.

''“It’s not that we can decide that [the timing]. Yes, I wish I had the final squad four weeks ago, all together. But that’s a business, we have to wait.''

Ojo spent the whole of last season on loan at Fulham and before then he was farmed out on loan to Wigan Athletic and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
