Celtic may have missed out on Liverpool attacker Harry Wilson, but there is potential they could still add another Reds loanee.

The Mail report Liverpool are hoping to loan out Wales international Ben Woodburn, and this is an opportunity Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers must pursue.

The 19-year-old attacker can play up front, as a number 10, or out wide, and his eye for goal has already been apparent in his short career so far.

Woodburn has scored first team goals for Liverpool and for Wales, but first team opportunities are going to be limited for him next season.

While rivals Rangers have moved to sign Ovie Ejaria and Ryan Kent, Woodburn could be better than both.

He can play the role Patrick Roberts thrived in for Celtic and add creativity to their attack and a goalscoring threat from behind the striker.

Celtic have been quiet in the transfer market this summer, but did try to sign Woodburn’s Liverpool and Wales teammate Harry Wilson, only to see him head to Derby County.

Woodburn would be a terrific alternative for them to focus on instead.
