According to The Irish Sun, in an article penned by Alan Nixon, Championship duo Nottingham Forest and Reading are eyeing up Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo.

After spending last season on loan at newly promoted Fulham, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has decided to cash in on Ojo. However, if Forest or Reading are hoping to ‘kop’ a bargain then they can think again.

According to Nixon, whilst “Liverpool are ready to sell” youngster Ojo but “there is a £10 million-plus fee on his head.” 21-year-old Ojo is currently with Liverpool on a pre-season tour but there is an agreement that he can fly home should either Nottingham Forest or Reading raise the required fee.

Ojo first came to prominence at MK Dons, Liverpool paying £2.25 million to bring him to Anfield as a 14-year-old. Since then the Hemel Hempstead-born starlet has spent time out on loan at Wigan (February-April 2015), Wolves (August 2015-January 2016) and Fulham (August 2017-May 2018).

Last season the youngster featured in 22 Sky Bet Championship games for Fulham, scoring four goals and providing two assists for the Cottagers who were promoted via the Play-Offs.

Reading will be hoping to turn last season’s disappointing 20th place finish in the league into something much more positive and a player like Sheyi Ojo will give them that edge.

Meanwhile Forest will continue their pre-season attempts to become this coming season’s Wolves should they add Ojo to their growing Portuguese contingent. Forest have so far brought in Joao Carvalho, Diogo Goncalves and Gil Dias, the latter arriving on a loan deal from Monaco.
