Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo has joined Cardiff City on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old becomes Neil Harris' third signing of the transfer window, following Wales striker Kieffer Moore and Arsenal loanee Jordi Osei-Tutu.

Ojo, who has made 13 appearances for Liverpool, has Championship experience from loan spells with Wigan Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham.

The former England youth international spent the 2019-20 season in Scotland with Rangers, scoring five goals.

Cardiff, who reached the Championship play-off semi-finals last season, faced competition from the likes of Nottingham Forest for Ojo's signature.

"I've got a point to prove and I'm really excited for the new challenge," Ojo told Cardiff's 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."

Cardiff begin their Championship season at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, 12 September.
