Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has confirmed Joe Bennett is "entitled" to speak to Fulham over a move to Craven Cottage.

Ojo, who won the U20 World Cup with England earlier this summer, joined Liverpool's academy from MK Dons in 2011 and enjoyed successful loan spells at Wigan and Wolves before breaking into the first-team squad.

He made 11 senior appearances in his first season under Jurgen Klopp scoring one goal in the FA Cup replay against Exeter at Anfield in January 2016.

However, injuries restricted him to just two games last season and he's fallen down the pecking order at Anfield with Ryan Kent moving ahead of him after a good pre-season.

"I'm delighted to welcome Sheyi Ojo to the Fulham Football Club," Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan said.

"I've had the pleasure of spending time with Sheyi and his family, and I've seen firsthand what a tremendous work ethic Sheyi has both on and off the pitch."
