The 18-year-old is highly regarded at Anfield and is available on loan to further his progression.

Ojo scored the winner for the Reds in their 2-1 friendly win over Swindon on Sunday.

He spent time on loan at Wigan Athletic in the Championship earlier this year, playing 11 times.

England under-18 international Ojo joined Liverpool from MK Dons in 2011.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers took Ojo on the club's recent tour of the Far East and Australia.

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett confirmed his interest in the player, although stressed that a deal was not yet done.

Jackett said: He's a player we're interested in. It's not as far down the road but we have interest in him, definitely.

"We have approached Liverpool but there's no definite date on that one."
