Liverpool are considering a loan offer from Middlesbrough for talented young winger Sheyi Ojo.

The Reds have rebuffed a number of approaches for the England Under-20s international this summer with Jurgen Klopp keen to assess him in the early stages of pre-season.

However, an inquiry from the Championship outfit interests Liverpool. The Reds are open to the idea of Ojo continuing his development under the guidance of Garry Monk and Boro are willing to give him the regular first-team football he needs.

No final decision has been taken with both Liverpool and Ojo still weighing up their options, but Klopp believes a season in the North East could benefit the 20-year-old in the long-term.

Ojo has been a man in demand following his success with England at the Under-20s World Cup in South Korea last month.

Newcastle United and Burnley were among those to make an inquiry but Liverpool want to guard against him going to a club where he’s likely to be viewed as a squad player.

Ojo, who joined Liverpool from MK Dons six years ago, has previously had temporary spells at Wigan and Wolves.

His progress was hampered by a stress fracture in his back last season as he made just one start and one substitute outing for Klopp’s side.
