Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo is expected to join Wigan Athletic on loan for the rest of the season.

The Reds are in talks with the Championship outfit over a temporary move for the 17-year-old winger.

Boss Brendan Rodgers believes Ojo's development would benefit from a spell playing regular first-team football.

The England youth international, who joined Liverpool from MK Dons in 2011, has yet to make his senior debut for the Reds but has been a regular at Melwood this season. He was an unused substitute in the games against Burnley and Leicester over the festive period.

Liverpool Under-21s boss Michael Beale told the ECHO earlier this week that Ojo had attracted interest from a number of clubs throughout the Football League.

“There’s a lot of interest around him in terms of a loan,” he said.

“We’ve got to make sure it’s the right thing for Sheyi and if he goes out that he’s going to play and if he’s not going to play, he’s got to get access - like Conor Randall at Shrewsbury - to come back and play for us.”
