Liverpool starlet Ben Woodburn poised for Hearts loan after Jurgen Klopp gives all clear for club's youngest ever scorer to seal switch

Jurgen Klopp has given the green light for Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn to complete a loan move to Hearts on Monday.

Woodburn, 21, agreed to join the Scottish Premiership side last week but Klopp initially wanted to wait until the end of the month before ratifying the deal.

However following Liverpool's win against Burnley in which Harvey Elliott excelled and Curtis Jones returned from injury as a substitute, Woodburn has been allowed to travel to Edinburgh to put pen to paper.

The Wales international is the youngest goalscorer in Liverpool's history netting against Leeds in the League Cup aged 17 years 45 days but has struggled to become a first-teamer at Anfield, spending time on loan with Sheffield United, Oxford and Blackpool.
