The Daily Star reports that Sheyi Ojo will soon be on his way to Ibrox.
The 21-year-old winger spent last season on loan at Stade Reims in Ligue 1. There, he made 17 appearances in all competitions, scoring once against Orleans in the French League Cup.
Ojo and Reims finished the season in a respectable ninth place.
Apparently impressed by his stint away, it’s suggested that Liverpool are now set to hand him a whopping five-year contract.
Immediately after signing, though, the report claims he’ll be on his way to Ibrox.
It’s an interesting prospective move for Rangers and if it comes off, it’s another instance of Steven Gerrard using his Anfield connections to beef up his squad.

Last summer he brought in Ovie Ejaria and Ryan Kent. You’d be hard pressed to find more contrasting signings, either.
Ejaria played regularly but failed to make contributions in the final third. He ended his loan deal early, returning to Liverpool in December [BBC Sport].
As we all know by now, though, Kent was a revelation. His trickery on the left and outstanding displays in big matches saw him crowned SFA Young Player of the Year.
If Ojo is Ibrox-bound after all, let’s hope he makes more of a Kent-esque impact.
