Newcastle warned they’ll have to cough up £10m for Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo or he will be loaned out elsewhere

NEWCASTLE boss Rafa Benitez has been told to make a £10 million offer for Liverpool's Sheyi Ojo - because the winger is being cleared to speak to rivals about a loan move.

Benitez angered Jurgen Klopp by setting up a deal and then seeing his money men come up with a lesser bid last week.

And now the Kop have told the Toon that they can only have Ojo if the terms are right while letting other clubs have the chance to take him on loan.

Ojo is allowed to talk to Fulham, Middlesbrough and Derby about a season-long loan while Benitez can only join the race if he buys - and with a sell-back option.

Benitez is also pushing to buy Hull City midfielder Sam Clucas but has yet to agree a fee with the relegated Tigers.

The Spaniard also wants a top-class striker.

Busy Benitez put several players in the shop window at the weekend, with Grant Hanley watched by Birmingham and keeper Karl Darlow given a brief outing after his Middlesbrough move collapsed.
