FORMER Liverpool star Sheyi Ojo was bought by the Reds for \u00a32MILLION at the age of just 14.<\/p>\n
The winger was one of the most sought-after talents in England before Liverpool secured his services from MK Dons in 2011 for what was a lucrative fee at such a young age.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
He was subsequently sent out on a number of loans to the likes of Wigan, Wolves, Fulham, Cardiff, Millwall, Reims and Rangers.<\/p>\n
In amongst those spells, he returned to Liverpool and played 11 times during the 2015-16 campaign.<\/p>\n
And he scored in an FA Cup third-round replay against Exeter at Anfield.<\/p>\n
He then fractured his back and would feature just twice more for the Reds.<\/p>\n
Ojo eventually left Liverpool permanently in 2022 when he signed for Cardiff.<\/p>\n He penned a two-year contract with the Championship outfit and played 39 times last season.<\/p>\n The Welsh side finished down in 21st place, avoiding relegation by just four points.<\/p>\n Then in the summer Ojo was deemed surplus to requirements. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n Belgian Pro League club Kortrijk agreed a season-long loan deal for the attacker – who earned one cap for England's U21s in 2017.<\/p>\n And he has started each of their last seven league games – only one of which they have won.<\/p>\n Kortrijk, who are owned by Cardiff chief Vincent Tan, sit bottom of the table with just five points from 10 matches.<\/p>\n And things do not get easier for Ojo's new club as they prepare to host Belgian champions Club Brugge on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/picture>CLEAN UP <\/span><\/p>\n
