10 players who epitomize their club

#3 Ben Woodburn

The future

Ben Woodburn might not be a name familiar to too many, but everyone knows who he is on Merseyside. And why wouldn’t they when he is Liverpool’s youngest ever goalscorer and with the world at his feet.

In a team that is becoming more and more multi-national by the season, and with former players such as Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard long since departed, it is local boy Woodburn who’ll be flying the flag.

At 15 years of age, his star was already on the rise and he played in Pep Linders’ U18 side, shining on a stage replete with much older and stronger exponents.

The now 17-year-old is coming up to a decade with the club already and though he’s played for Wales at every level bar the senior side, his rise has been so meteoric that England are doing everything they can behind the scenes to convince the player to switch his allegiance.

The red half of Merseyside love a local-boy-made-good story and Jurgen Klopp already likes what he sees, so expect to hear much more about Woodburn in due course.
