Liverpool’s England Under-20 striker Sheyi Ojo joins Fulham on loan for the season
Former Wigan and Wolves loanee returns to the Championship after playing 13 times for the Reds since his debut last year
LIVERPOOL striker Sheyi Ojo has joined Fulham on loan for the season.
The England Under-20s livewire is returning to the Championship after temporary spells with Wigan and Wolves.
Ojo, 20, has played 13 times for Jurgen Klopp's men since his debut at Exeter in January last year.
But he knows his first-team opportunities for the Reds would be just as limited this term.
So he has opted to toughen-up and gain experience with the Cottagers, who reached the play-offs last term.
Fulham have drawn all three of their Championship games so far this season.
And Cottagers chief Slavisa Jokanovic will see Ojo as the type of exciting player who could turn such stalemates into victories.

Liverpool beat off bids from several other major European clubs to sign Ojo from MK Dons in 2011 for around £2million.
He had been the first Dons player ever to pick up an international cap at youth level.
And this summer he came on a substitute when England beat Venezuela 1-0 in the U-20s final for their first global trophy since winning the 1966 World Cup at Wembley.
