England U18 international Sheyi Ojo has joined Wigan Athletic on loan from Liverpool.

The 17-year-old attacker, who has yet to make a senior appearance for the Reds, has joined Latics until the end of the season.

Ojo scored twice in his last appearance for his country, a 4-1 win over Poland in November, and has recently been included on Liverpool’s bench for their matches with Leicester City and Burnley.
