Ben Woodburn: Liverpool striker signs long-term deal with the club
- Published
Woodburn has scored a goal each for club and country
Liverpool's youngest goalscorer Ben Woodburn has signed a new long-term deal with the Premier League club.
At 17 years and 45 days, Woodburn surpassed Michael Owen's record when he netted in the EFL Cup quarter-final victory over Leeds last season.
The 18-year-old Wales international has played 10 games for the club, scoring once.
"This is the club I want to stay at and be here as long as possible," said Woodburn.
"When I was told, all I wanted to do was sign the contract. It feels good. Now I just want to carry on and hopefully show the manager what I can do.
"I think there is loads of room for improvement. I've just got to keep working and trying in training every day and hopefully I will improve."
The Reds did not specify when Woodburn's new deal will expire.
He scored on his senior Wales debut against Austria in September and has now won four caps.
