Rhian Brewster might be having the time of his life for the England U17 side in the FIFA World Cup but another Liverpool youngster just signed a contract extension and that can only mean good news for the Reds.
Ben Woodburn might not have done much for us this season but he has been one of the best players for the Wales team that just missed out on making it to the World Cup in 2018.
Jurgen Klopp was pleased with the news of the Welsh forward signing a new deal and was quoted by the Mirror as saying:
“This is brilliant news, although without sounding complacent about it, it is absolutely not a surprise.”
“Ben knows how committed we are to him and he and his family know this is the best environment for him to grow, learn more and become even better and better.”

We all must remember that Woodburn is the youngest player to have scored for us; he found the back of the net against Leeds United in the League Cup last season.
The future does seem bright for the youngster and his signature means he will be getting the minutes that he wants under Klopp, fairly soon.
Twitter too was buzzing with a lot of happy Liverpool fans, something that we all need after a torrid time for the first team recently.

Woodburn: “It’s an unbelievable feeling to sign a new contract. This is the club I want to stay at and be here as long as possible.”
