Liverpool starlet Ben Woodburn on brink of international call-up as teenager prepares to commit to Wales over England

Liverpool teenager Ben Woodburn could join Wales' World Cup campaign against the Republic of Ireland next week - and end doubts over his international future.

Woodburn became the youngest scorer in Liverpool history - at the age of 17 years and 45 days - when he netted in the 2-0 EFL Cup victory over Leeds in November.

His Liverpool debut came as a substitute against Sunderland in November, and he has now made seven appearances.

The teenager has yet to start a Premier League game, but produced an impressive cameo off the bench in the Reds' 2-1 triumph against Burnley on Sunday.
