Millwall boss Gary Rowett is backing Liverpool-owned winger Sheyi Ojo to live up to his potential.
The Lions are Ojo's seventh loan club after previously spending time at Wigan Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham, Reims, Glasgow Rangers and Cardiff City.
The 2017 U20 World Cup winner has yet to open his goalscoring account since his arrival at Millwall but has provided two assists for his teammates.
Ojo has struggled to break into Millwall's starting lineup since the start of November, starting only one out of a possible seven matches in the Championship.
"Sheyi’s a player with such great potential both athletically and technically. I’m sure I’m probably sat here like Liverpool just wanting to see a tiny bit more consistent delivery of that," Rowett said to News at Den.
"He’s a really good lad, he fits well into the group and works incredibly hard.
"He’s been disappointed not to have started in the last few."
Rowett advised Ojo to be consistent in his performances to re-establish himself in the starting lineup.
"The next step for Sheyi is that consistency of delivering those performances. He’s capable of it, he’s a very, very talented young player.
"I think it’ll be down to him to a certain degree how far he goes in the game because he’s got a little bit of everything."
