Sheyi Ojo reveals he spoke with Ovie Ejaria before joining Rangers

Rangers have secured the signing of Liverpool forward Sheyi Ojo on a season-long loan, making him manager Steven Gerrard’s fifth summer signing.

The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Ligue 1 outfit Reims, and has previously had loans stints at Fulham, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic, but recently signed a contract extension with the Premier League giants and Champions League winners.

Ojo has revealed that he spoke with former Rangers loanee and fellow Liverpool academy graduate Ovie Ejaria before agreeing to an Ibrox switch.

“When I heard Rangers were involved, I spoke to my representatives, the gaffer Steven Gerrard and I spoke to Liverpool as well.
