Confirmed : Super Eagles-eligible winger ends eleven-year association with Liverpool

Liverpool have submitted their retained and released list to the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2021-2022 season, with decisions made on the futures of academy and first team players.

The Anfield side have confirmed that 2017 England U20 World Cup-winning winger of Nigerian descent Sheyi will be moving on to pastures new when his contract expires at the end of June.

Ojo started his Liverpool career with their academy team in 2011, rising through the ranks before he was handed his first team debut by manager Jurgen Klopp in an Emirates FA Cup clash with Exeter City on January 8, 2016.

Overall, the onetime Nigerian Federation target appeared in thirteen competitive games for Liverpool, scoring once against Exeter City while registering four assists.

Despite a promising start to his senior career at Liverpool, he failed to establish himself as a first team regular under the German football tactician, leading to loan spells at Fulham, Stade de Reims, Glasgow Rangers, Cardiff City and Millwall in the past five campaigns.

The 24-year-old also spent time on loan at Wigan Athletic and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
