Sheffield United and Norwich City to battle Stoke City to sign Liverpool forward

According to the Stoke Sentinel, Stoke City are attempting to sign exciting young talent Ben Woodburn from Liverpool, however, the striker has interested other clubs who are keen on a deal for the forward.

Woodburn is reportedly available for a season-long loan to the Championship and apparently Sheffield United and Norwich City have spoken to the Champions League finalists about a potential deal for the young Welsh striker.

It’s thought Stoke City are keen on the forward and the clubs fanbase has been hopeful that the Championship side could get the forward on loan for the forthcoming season as part of a deal that would take their midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri to Anfield on a permanent deal.

The 18-year-old striker has already made seven international appearances for Wales after breaking into Liverpool’s first-team at the age of just 17-years-old and then becoming the clubs youngest goalscorer after grabbing a goal in an EFL Cup game against Leeds United.

Woodburn found himself limited in terms of appearances last season and a move away from Anfield will likely be very good for the young striker’s progression in terms of his career.

If he is to go out on loan to a Championship side though, it’s likely Liverpool will try to insert a clause into any deal in which the striker has to play a specific amount of games as a minimum. It’s thought the club are doing a similar sort of deal with any loan move for their other young star, Harry Wilson and this would be to simply aid the progression of Woodburn, rather than letting him wither away on a bench for a Championship club.
