Liverpool reportedly making plans for the U23 player; I hope it takes the Mason Mount route – HITC

Liverpool believe the Eredivisie is the ideal destination for Ben Woodburn as the Premier League star seeks to breathe new life into his stalled career at Anfield, according to Goal.

While the heavy metal football of the Bundesliga is a feast to behold, Serie A is leaving behind its Catenaccio roots and La Liga and Ligue 1 boast the notable talents of Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar, There is only one place to go if you want to hear the net ripple.

And that’s the crux of why Liverpool want to send the youngest scorer in their 128-year history to the Netherlands, rather than allow him to spend another season in the third division of English football.

It’s been four years since the 21-year-old stole Michael Owen’s place in Anfield folklore, and Woodburn is about to embark on another short-term move away from Merseyside.

But after unfortunate spells at Sheffield United and Oxford that fell short of expectations, Goal reports that Liverpool are planning a turnaround, with the Wales international on the line of a much-needed period to boost confidence in the Netherlands.

Sparta Rotterdam is expected to overtake Hull City with the Woodburn signing.

Now maybe Liverpool are taking a page out of Chelsea’s book.

Mason Mount honed his considerable talent on loan at Vitesse Arnhem in 2017/18; returning to Stamford Bridge from the Blues’ unofficial feeder club ready to make his mark on senior play.

Liverpool will hope their former wonder kid can do the same in a league where goals are plentiful and defense seems optional.
