Liverpool forward Sheyi Ojo has joined Cardiff City on a season-long loan deal, subject to international clearance.
The 23-year-old will spend the duration of 2020-21 with the Championship side, who kick off their league campaign at home to Sheffield Wednesday this Saturday, after the move was finalised on Monday.
And speaking for the first time since putting pen to paper, Ojo says he is ready for the challenge of leading a promotion push.
“I’ve got a point to prove and I’m really excited for the new challenge,” he told the club website.
“Cardiff City is a massive club with great fans and great players – hopefully I can show what I can do here and fit right in.
“Wherever the ball is, I want to be involved in the game as much as possible.
“I’m delighted to get here in time for a full week’s training with the team ahead of the first home game this Saturday. Now it’s important that we start right.”
Ojo switched to Anfield from MK Dons in 2011 and has made 13 appearances for the first team, scoring one goal, since being handed a debut by Jurgen Klopp in an FA Cup tie against Exeter City in January 2016.
He has had several loan moves away from the club to continue his development, most recently at Steven Gerrard’s Rangers last season, where he played 36 games.
