Liverpool starlet Ben Woodburn, who made history as their youngest scorer, has joined Blackpool on loan until January

League One Blackpool have signed Liverpool's youngest goalscorer Ben Woodburn on loan until January.

The Seasiders are managed by former Liverpool coach Neil Critchley and he'll be entrusted with helping 21-year-old Woodburn live up to the potential he first displayed as a teenager at Anfield.

The Wales international made history when he scored against Leeds aged 17 years 45 days but subsequently found it hard to break into Jurgen Klopp's first-team plans.
