The decision to join Jaap Stam's high-flying side, who sit third in the Sky Bet Championship, now rests with the player.

The London-born Portuguese youngster has struggled to nail down a place in Liverpool's first team since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon in 2013.

Ilori, who made his senior Sporting debut as an 18-year-old, has been restricted to three FA Cup appearances for the Reds during his time at Anfield, all of which came last season.
