Ben Woodburn, Liverpool's youngest ever goal scorer, called up by Wales

Liverpool youngster Ben Woodburn has been called up to the Wales senior side for the first time, the Welsh FA have announced.

Woodburn, 17, has been included in Chris Coleman's 23-man squad for the World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin on March 24.

Liverpool's youngest ever goal scorer was born in Chester, near the English-Welsh border, meaning he could represent England at international level.

However, due to having a maternal grandfather born in Wales, the teenager has represented Wales at under-16, U18 and U19 levels.
