      Liverpool paid £2m for me when I was just 14 but now I’m playing for little known Belgian minnows at 26

      by

      FORMER Liverpool star Sheyi Ojo was bought by the Reds for £2MILLION at the age of just 14.The winger was one of the most sought-after talents in England before Liverpool secured his services from MK Dons in 2011 for what was a lucrative fee at such a young age.

      He was subsequently sent out on a number of loans to the likes of Wigan, Wolves, Fulham, Cardiff, Millwall, Reims and Rangers.
      In amongst those spells, he returned to Liverpool and played 11 times during the 2015-16 campaign.
      And he scored in an FA Cup third-round replay against Exeter at Anfield.
      He then fractured his back and would feature just twice more for the Reds.

      Ojo eventually left Liverpool permanently in 2022 when he signed for Cardiff.
      He penned a two-year contract with the Championship outfit and played 39 times last season.
      The Welsh side finished down in 21st place, avoiding relegation by just four points.
      Then in the summer Ojo was deemed surplus to requirements.

      Belgian Pro League club Kortrijk agreed a season-long loan deal for the attacker – who earned one cap for England’s U21s in 2017.
      And he has started each of their last seven league games – only one of which they have won.
      Kortrijk, who are owned by Cardiff chief Vincent Tan, sit bottom of the table with just five points from 10 matches.
      And things do not get easier for Ojo’s new club as they prepare to host Belgian champions Club Brugge on Saturday. More

      But Sport Bild claims Musiala could soon be on the move.
      The former Chelsea youngster’s contract expires in 2026, with Bayern keen to extend it.
      However, Musiala’s agents are currently not talking to Thomas Tuchel’s side about a new deal.
      And that could open the door for Liverpool to pounce, with Jurgen Klopp a huge fan.

      The Reds already had a midfield rebuild in the last window.
      But a silky dribbler connecting the dots to attack could be the missing piece of Klopp’s new puzzle.
      And Musiala could be keen on returning to England, having already won four titles and a Champions League in Bavaria.
      He’s not the only Bayern player said to be in Liverpool’s sights, with the Anfield club also keeping tabs on former Man City winger Leroy Sane.

      Should Musiala join Liverpool, he would surely transform their fortunes and help challenge for the Premier League once again.
      The ace has had star backing too from new Bayern striker Harry Kane, with the England captain claiming Musiala is the player who has impressed him most at the Allianz Arena.
      Kane said: “Jamal has been fantastic. There’s been a lot of talk about how good he is and how young he is.
      “He’s been great to watch in training and in tight areas how he moves and how he plays forward. He’s been fantastic to play with so far.” More

      But the Reds will face competition for his signature as Chelsea have also been linked with the Belgium international.
      Fichajes have reported that the Stamford Bridge outfit are keen on signing Openda as they look to put an end to their striker woes.
      The Blues have had issues finding the right centre forward for their squad in recent seasons, but Mauricio Pochettino is understood to be keen on the idea of bring Openda to London in January.

      The forward joined the Germans this summer from RC Lens after he helped the Ligue 1 side come within just one point of PSG in the league last season.
      But despite only just coming through the door at Red Bull Arena, he could be snatched away with reports of a release clause in his contract.
