Ben Woodburn signs for Oxford from Liverpool on season loan

Tuesday 30 July 2019 17:54, UK

Liverpool and Wales forward Ben Woodburn has signed for Sky Bet League One side Oxford United on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a spell at Sheffield United last season in the Championship, where he made seven appearances as the Blades eventually secured promotion to the Premier League.

Woodburn, who has 10 caps for Wales, was a part of Liverpool's pre-season tour of the USA in July prior to his move to Oxford, featuring in the Reds' defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla.

Woodburn, who can operate as a winger and as an attacking midfielder, has featured in six Premier League games since making his Liverpool debut in 2016.

He previously broke Michael Owen's long-standing record to become Liverpool's youngest ever goalscorer when he came on as a substitute in a League Cup tie against Leeds in his first game three years ago.

Woodburn becomes the seventh arrival at the Kassam Stadium in this transfer window for Karl Robinson's side.
