Liverpool are planning to send Sheyi Ojo out on loan for the forthcoming season.
Ojo was recently part of England’s under-20 side that won the World Cup earlier this month and played a vital role in helping his country to glory.
But the winger endured a difficult season for the Reds, making only two senior appearances in an FA Cup double header against Plymouth Argyle in January.
Jurgen Klopp is happy to let allow Ojo go out on loan to gain more first team experience, something the youngster was struggling to achieve at Anfield.
The 20-year-old has already caught the eye of Burnley and Middlesbrough, but Newcastle United are currently leading the race for the player’s services.
Rafael Benitez is keen to take Ojo to the North East from his former club as the Spaniard looks to bolster his squad ahead of their return to the Premier League.
Benitez believes that the player’s pace will inject a boost of energy into his side as they look to avoid a return to the Championship this coming season.
