Liverpool midfielder Sheyi Ojo has joined Fulham on a season-long loan.
The 20-year-old winger received offers from several clubs including Middlesbrough, Derby and Aston Villa before choosing to move to Craven Cottage.
Ojo, who won the U20 World Cup with England earlier this summer, joined Liverpool's academy from MK Dons in 2011 and enjoyed successful loan spells at Wigan and Wolves before breaking into the first-team squad.
He made 11 senior appearances in his first season under Jurgen Klopp scoring one goal in the FA Cup replay against Exeter at Anfield in January 2016.
However, injuries restricted him to just two games last season and he's fallen down the pecking order at Anfield with Ryan Kent moving ahead of him after a good pre-season.

"He possesses fantastic physical talents and also carries himself with poise and class, and I know that he's going to be a great addition to our squad."
