Reading have signed Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria on loan until the end of the season.
The 21-year-old who has been part of Liverpool‘s academy since leaving Arsenal in 2014, was given his first-team debut by Klopp in 2016 during an EFL Cup third-round win at Derby County.

Having signed a long-term contract the club in June, he was sent to Rangers but, having grown unsettled in Scotland, returned in December and will now be part of Reading’s squad for the rest of the Championship campaign.
Manager Jose Gomes reacted to the signing by saying, “In Ovie we have signed a player who is comfortable with the ball at his feet, can pass the ball quickly and effectively to make things happen in the final third.
“[He] shows a composure which is rare in such a young central midfielder. I am really looking forward to working with him at Reading.”

Chief Executive Nigel Howe added: “This month, we have openly stated our intention to reduce the size of the first team squad whilst aiming to add exceptional quality to our team if the right opportunities in the window arise.
“A highly-rated England youth international who has competed at the highest level both with Liverpool and during his loan spell with Rangers, I am confident Ovie is capable of injecting that added quality into our midfield and I am delighted to welcome him to Reading.
