5 Liverpool loanees who can break into the first team in the upcoming season

Chester FC v Liverpool - Pre-Season Friendly
For Origi to gain Klopp's trust, there's a lot that he needs to prove in the coming pre-season

#3 Sheyi Ojo

2017 EFL Championship Brentford v Fulham Dec 2nd
He's a versatile forward which only strengthens his case for first-team football as that's a trait that Klopp generally looks for in his front-line players

Sheyi Ojo is a young English man with loads of potential. He joined Liverpool at the age of 14 in spite of interest from a number of other top European clubs.

The 2015-2016 campaign proved to be his breakthrough season at Liverpool. He went on to make eight appearances for the first team scoring no goals but impressing fans with his dazzling skill and raw pace.

In order to ensure that his potential is not lost sitting on the bench, he was loaned out to Championship side Fulham for the entire 2017-2018 season. Over the course of the season, he made 24 appearances scoring four goals and assisting two more.

The fact that he's a versatile forward strengthens his case for first-team football as that's a trait that Klopp generally looks for in his front-line players.

Traditionally a forward, he plays the attacking midfield position also really well and loves to play short one-two passes, precisely the Liverpool way. An area of his game that he really needs to improve is his crossing abilities especially because of the position in which he prefers to play.

With Liverpool participating in a number of competitions this year and a true out-wide player being omitted from their transfer purchases, he stands a great chance to make a few appearances. All that he has to do is impress the boss once he gets his opportunity.
