​Middlesbrough set to beat Newcastle to Liverpool speedster Ojo

Rafa Benitez's frustrating transfer market has continued, with Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo set to join Middlesbrough.

The 20-year winger has been a target for the Newcastle United manager for months, but Sky Sports claims that Ojo is close to signing a loan deal with the Magpies' north-east rivals.

The Englishman is keen to get some regular first team experience, with a spot in Jurgen Klopp's side unlikely this season.
