Liverpool are keen to ensure that Harry Wilson and Ovie Ejaria both sign new deals before sending them out on loan this month.

The Academy duo have been stalling over the contract extensions offered to them as they consider their options.

However, the Reds want both Wilson and Ejaria to put pen to paper before sanctioning temporary moves away until the end of the season.

Neither player has made the matchday squad under Jurgen Klopp so far this term and they are keen to gain first-team experience elsewhere rather than continue to feature for Liverpool Under-23s between now and May. A number of Championship clubs have registered their interest.

Wilson, who missed the start of the season due to an Achilles injury, hasn’t featured for the senior side since being handed his debut in the FA Cup tie against Plymouth a year ago.

The 20-year-old Wales international winger, who has been a prolific goal scorer for Neil Critchley’s under-23s, previously had a loan spell at Crewe.

Ejaria enjoyed a breakthrough campaign in 2016/17 as he clocked up eight first-team appearances for the Reds and earned rave reviews from Klopp after catching his eye on a warm weather training camp in Tenerife.

However, the London-born 20-year-old midfielder missed most of the second half of last season with an ankle injury and hasn’t been able to force his way back into the manager’s plans since.

Rather than training at Melwood, Ejaria has found himself based with the under-23s at the Kirkby Academy.
