Liverpool attacker Ben Woodburn has now had his loan exit to Hearts accepted by boss Jurgen Klopp having initially had the move delayed.
That’s according to the Daily Mail, who claim that Klopp has finally given the proposed deal the green light.
Reports from The Scotsman last week suggested that Klopp had told Woodburn after training on Wednesday that his move to Hearts would be delayed.
Klopp wanted to keep Woodburn at Anfield closer to the transfer deadline, seemingly feeling that he needed the additional depth in attack.
Woodburn was on the bench against Norwich City on the opening weekend of the season but missed out on a place in the matchday squad against Burnley on Saturday.
It’s stated that with Harvey Elliott impressing against Burnley and Curtis Jones back in action, Klopp has changed his mind and decided Woodburn can leave now instead of next week.
The 21-year-old attacker is heading up to Edinburgh to finalise his loan move to Hearts, which will run until the January transfer window.
Woodburn is in the final year of his contract, and he will surely need a huge spell at Tynecastle to stand a chance of earning a new deal at Anfield.
