4 Liverpool Players Who Should Be Loaned out in 2015/16 Season

Under the control of Fenway Sports Group and manager Brendan Rodgers, Liverpool have been moulded into a side full of youthful prospects, but while some are ready for Premier League action, others will need a loan move in 2015/16.

Rodgers has seen the benefits of this of late, with both Jordon Ibe and Andre Wisdom looking set for a first-team role going into the new campaign having spent 2014/15 on loan.

Who should be loaned out in 2015/16?

Here are four key selections, including talented young striker Jerome Sinclair.

Joe Gomez

There is little chance Liverpool signed Joe Gomez, the 18-year-old former Charlton Athletic centre-back, with a view of fielding him in the first team in 2014/15.

Though he's strong, quick and intelligent, and billed by some including the Express' Colin Mofham as "the new Rio Ferdinand," Gomez only has 21 games of bottom-level Championship football to draw from in terms of senior experience.

This season, Gomez could find himself behind Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and Dejan Lovren—as well as the man who features in our next slide—in Rodgers' thinking at centre-back for Liverpool.

For the sake of his development, Gomez should return to the Championship on loan.

BBC Sport linked Gomez with a temporary move to promotion chasers Derby County on his £3.5 million arrival at Anfield.

Under new Rams manager Paul Clement, Gomez could hone his game in preparation for a role in the top flight in the future.

Tiago Ilori

There is a big if hovering over this selection.

Having shone in a central-defensive role in Portugal's ultimately ill-fated charge to the final of this summer's UEFA European Under-21 Championship, 22-year-old Hampstead-born defender Tiago Ilori looks ready to take up a regular role in Rodgers' back line.

But if Ilori isn't considered first or second choice within the Ulsterman's centre-back ranks, he should be loaned again in 2015/16.

Ilori spent 2013/14 with Granada and 2014/15 with Bordeaux, to varying degrees of success, but his performances in the Czech Republic should prove he is ready for Premier League action.

He is tall, quick, strong and, most importantly, composed in possession—all qualities that should endear him to Rodgers.

But with Liverpool already possessing Skrtel, Sakho, Lovren and Toure, Ilori may face a battle to break into the first-team picture.

If Rodgers doesn't deem that possible, a loan to a lower-level Premier League club such as Sunderland Echo-reported suitor Sunderland should be engineered—then, Ilori can take up his position alongside Sakho for the following campaign.

Sheyi Ojo

Sheyi Ojo spent the second half of 2014/15 on loan with Championship side Wigan Athletic, making 11 appearances in the Latics' disappointing campaign, which saw them eventually relegated to League One.

This was through no fault of Ojo's, however, with the 18-year-old impressing with a series of strong performances in midfield.

Ojo is definitely ready for a high-level Championship loan in terms of his physicality—at over 6'1" and boasting considerable upper-body strength—and his blossoming tactical intelligence suggests he could play a big part in a promotion campaign for the likes of Derby, Burnley or Queens Park Rangers.

Able to play in central midfield, on either flank, as a No. 10 or even as a makeshift centre-forward, Ojo has all of the qualities needed to succeed at Liverpool.

It may take a developmental loan spell in 2015/16 to ensure this, however.

Jerome Sinclair

Like Ojo, 18-year-old striker Sinclair spent some of 2014/15 on loan with Wigan, but despite a less successful time at the DW Stadium, he went on to make his Premier League debut for the Reds on his return.

Sinclair made just one nine-minute appearance for the Latics, who rightly preferred experienced head Marc-Antoine Fortune as they underwent their relegation battle.

But when he rejoined Rodgers' squad as Liverpool's top-four battle died out, he was afforded 27 minutes of action—substitute appearances against Chelsea and Crystal Palace—in a clear signal of the manager's faith in his bright, young talent.

Sinclair has the pace, movement and finishing ability to indicate he could follow fellow poacher-type Daniel Sturridge into Rodgers' ranks, but he still needs to refine his game.

A loan move, like Ojo, at the top end of the Championship in 2015/16 could point him in the right direction.
