Liverpool have signed highly-rated teenage midfielder Seyi Ojo from League One side MK Dons.

Ojo, 14, has been snapped up by the Premier League club's academy following four years with the Dons.He has been capped twice by England at under-16 level, playing during their recent Victory Shield campaign.

"This is the opportunity of a lifetime for Seyi and his parents which has proved far too difficult to turn down,'' Dons chairman Peter Winkelman told the club's official website. "There has been a lot of interest and speculation regarding Seyi which he has coped with admirably.

"We are extremely proud to have Seyi in our record books as our first schoolboy to receive an international cap. Everyone at the club would like to wish Seyi the best of luck in his future and we all look forward to the day he runs out at Anfield.''
Seyi Ojo's performances in the youth system at League One side MK Dons have caught the eye of a string of top clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal
It was reported in October that Chelsea were ready to spend £1.5m to take the youngster to Stamford Bridge.
