Liverpool fans wouldn't have heard of him before this pre-season given he's only 16-years-old but young Ben Woodburn has already captured the hearts of many Red fans this pre-season with his performances and two goals for Jurgen Klopp's men.

A box-to-box midfielder at his best, Woodburn is touted as the 'next Aaron Ramsey' given his natural stamina and ability to get into dangerous attacking positions when needed most. Given his age and inexperience in the top level, Woodburn isn't going to be a regular with Klopp's team this season but its also simply impossible to overlook his talent and the leadership capabilities he brings when on the field.

Liverpool – like Manchester United – struggled in the midfield last season with the departure of the talismanic Steven Gerrard. Obviously Woodburn is nowhere close to the former Captain and what he could do on the pitch but new blood, young blood and someone who takes charge in the centre of the field will probably aid Klopp in his first full season at Anfield.
