Liverpool youngster Michael Ngoo is set to join Hearts on loan until the end of the season, Goal.com can reveal.

The 20-year-old was the subject of an approach by the cash-strapped SPL outfit on Thursday, and his parent club are keen for him to gain experience elsewhere.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is now set to discuss the proposition with Ngoo, but it is expected that the London-born forward will opt for a temporary stay in Scotland.

Ngoo has yet to make a first-team appearance for the Merseyside club, but is a prominent member of a Reds Under-21 team who have yet to taste defeat this season.

Should his loan move go through as expected, the former Southend United starlet will join Liverpool team-mate Danny Wilson at Tynecastle after the Scot sealed a similar short-term deal earlier this week.
