Moved on to other targets
However, Frankie McAvoy’s side ended up losing out on getting him to Millwall.
The Lancashire side then moved to sign Josh Murphy and Ali McCann from Cardiff City and St Johnstone respectively.
Ojo’s career to date
Ojo started his career on the books at MK Dons but was lured away by Liverpool as a youngster.
He has been on the books at Anfield for 10 years now and has made 13 appearances for their first-team to date.
The attacker has spent plenty of time out on loan away from Merseyside with the likes of Wigan Athletic, Wolves, Fulham, Stade de Reims, Rangers and Cardiff City.
