Newcastle United are in talks with Liverpool over a possible loan deal for Sheyi Ojo.

Things have moved on quickly since some frustration behind the scenes boiled over a little and Newcastle have been working on deals for a winger and full-back options.

And while the Ojo deal is still in its early stages, Newcastle are hopeful of bringing in the 20-year-old and giving him the experience Jurgen Klopp is looking for next season.

Klopp wants Ojo closer to first-team action but may need convincing that Newcastle would be the right move for him.

Chroniclelive confirmed the link with Ojo last Thursday but Newcastle have cranked up interest in the Hemel Hempstead-born left-winger since then.

The Magpies tried to sign Ojo in January but back then their bid was rejected as Klopp wanted to look at the ex-MK Dons player in the FA Cup.

The German spoke of Ojo producing moments of magic in games last season.

Klopp said: “That’s what he can do and if truth be told, he doesn’t do it enough. He’s well capable of producing those moments.

“The first-team manager and ourselves are beating the drum every day about him being direct and positive.

“That’s what he has to bring to the group. Whenever he’s going to play, he has to bring those moments on a more consistent basis.”
