Liverpool confirm departure of midfielder who completes permanent transfer

Liverpool's Ovie Ejaria has today completed a permanent move to Championship outfit Reading, the Reds have announced.

The 22-year-old joined the Royals on a season-long loan last year with an agreement to make the move permanent this summer.

During his time at the Madejski Stadium, Ejaria bagged three goals in 39 appearances across the Championship campaign.

Ejaria initially arrived at Anfield in 2014 from Arsenal, initially playing for the club’s youth sides at the Kirkby Academy.

The arrival of manager Jurgen Klopp saw Ejaria handed his first opportunity in the first-team in September 2016 in a League Cup tie against Derby County.

He would go on to make seven senior appearances during the 2016/17 season, and later enjoyed loan spell with Sunderland before having a temporary stint in Scotland with Rangers.

Ejaria’s final appearance for Liverpool came in an FA Cup defeat to Wolves at Anfield in January 2017.
