Top 5: Talented Premier League teenagers

Ben Woodburn (Liverpool)

And finally, Wales wonder Ben Woodburn completes our Top 5 shortlist of Talented Premier League teenagers.

The 18-year-old, who already has six senior caps for The Dragons, endeared himself to his home country after scoring the only goal of the game against Austria back in September 2017 during Wales’ 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.

Woodburn, who has been with Premier League side Liverpool since his Under-7 year, has been tipped as the club’s brightest prospect for many years having excelled at every youth level.

Having put pen to paper on his first professional contract at Anfield in November 2016, the left winger made his first-team bow for The Reds against Sunderland just a few weeks later in the Premier League.

In doing so, the Chester-born talent became Liverpool’s third youngest debutant of all-time at the age of 17 years and 42 days, and the club’s second youngest ever in the Premier League, only behind Jack Robinson.

And to top off a whirlwind few weeks, just three days after his top-flight outing, Woodburn wrote his name into The Reds’ record book again by becoming the club’s youngest-ever goalscorer when he came off the bench to net against Leeds United in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, surpassing Michael Owen’s milestone.

Nominated for the 2017 European Golden Boy award, which Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe won, wideman Woodburn has struggled to work his way into Jurgen Klopp’s senior side this term, despite featuring against Leicester City in the League Cup.

However, it is very easy to forget he is still only 18-years-old after his lightning start to life in senior football, and he has scored four goals and provided four assists among Liverpool’s youth sides this term.
