Middlesbrough in talks to buy Liverpool midfielder Sheyi Ojo

Middlesbrough are in talks to buy Liverpool midfielder Sheyi Ojo.

The Sun says Liverpool are in talks with Middlesbrough over a shock £10million switch for young winger Ojo.

The Kop will sell Ojo, 21, for the right price and Boro are keen to land him as they look for someone to fill speedy Adama Traore's boots.

Boss Tony Pulis is keen on the pace of Ojo for his promotion hopefuls and he will have cash to outbid rivals Nottingham Forest and Reading.

Ojo had a poor campaign at Fulham on loan but Boro think he has the speed and ability to be able to replace Traore, thought to be heading for Wolves in an £18m move.

The Reds are ready to cash in on Ojo now.
