Liverpool starlet Sheyi Ojo: I chose Fulham over Premier League offers

Liverpool starlet Sheyi Ojo is delighted with his loan move to Fulham.

Ojo was wanted by top-flight Newcastle as well as Championship big-spenders Middlesbrough.

Winger Ojo said: “The main decision this season was about getting the exposure and the game-time that's going to help my development.

“If I had gone on loan to the Premier League, maybe that would have been a different matter.

“I came to Craven Cottage for the game against Norwich on the first day of the season and I really liked the style of play Fulham were playing.

“In my opinion, Fulham are the best footballing team in the Championship and that's only going to improve me.

“As a young player, you can only really develop if you're playing games.

“Last season I was limited to playing-time with injuries and stuff. This season the main aim was to get regular games and improve."
