Liverpool sanction loan move for midfielder after he signs long-term contract with Reds

Liverpool have confirmed their midfielder Sheyi Ojo has joined Wolverhampton on loan until the end of the season after signing a new long-term deal.

The 18-year-old was included in the pre-season squad by the Reds manager Brendan Rodgers and was even on the scoresheet for the Reds during their 2-1 victory over Swindon Town in the last friendly fixture.

Ojo would have struggled to get regular playing time at Anfield and has joined Wolves on a season-long loan deal to get regular playing time.

“Sheyi Ojo has today signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool – and also joined Wolverhampton Wanderers on a youth loan until the end of the season,” a statement read on Liverpool’s official website.
