Ben Woodburn 'agrees' Hearts transfer as Liverpool midfielder set for move

Liverpool midfielder Ben Woodburn has agreed a deal to join Hearts on loan until January, according to a report.

The 21-year-old was told he was not a part of Jurgen Klopp's plans for this summer and looks set to join Robbie Neilson's side.

Woodburn has had three loan spells away from Anfield with Sheffield United, Oxford and Blackpool and his move to the Jambos will be his fourth away from Liverpool.

The Daily Mail report he will make the move to Tynecastle on a short-term deal until January.

Woodburn joined Liverpool's youth academy in 2007 and is regarded as one of the top prospects in Jurgen Klopp's squad.

He made his debut as a 17-year-old for Liverpool and is the youngest goalscorer in the clubs history.

He scored his first goal for the club aged just 17 years and 45 days against Leeds United.

Since, he has failed to work his way into the first team plans of Jurgen Klopp and a move to Hearts should offer much-needed first-team football.

Last campaign he was part of Blackpool's squad that won promotion to the English Championship, when he had a loan spell between October and January.

A full Wales international Woodburn will bring a wealth of experience with him to Tynecastle despite his tender age and will be an asset to Robbie Neilson's side.
