The talented Liverpool youngster could be a wonderful addition to the Wolverhampton Wanderers squad this summer.
Nuno Espirito Santo has a lot of work to do at Molineux this summer, if he is to build a squad capable of making a sustained push for the play-off spots this season, or at the very least, improve upon last term’s disappointing 15th placed finish.
One particular area of the Wolves squad that needs addressing is the attacking department, and the Express & Star claim that the Portuguese wants to bring a Premier League forward into the club on loan this summer.
With this in mind, the Black Country outfit should consider a move for Reds youngster Ben Woodburn, who really impressed for Liverpool during the nine senior appearances that he made last term.

The 17-year-old is not an out-and-out striker, although he can be used as an auxiliary centre-forward. He is most comfortable, and arguably at his best, however, when deployed in the number 10 role, just behind the lone striker.
The Wales under-19 international plays with a certain kind of maturity that defies his tender years, and his fearless approach to the game could prove to be a huge asset for Wolves.
Woodburn is incredibly quick off the mark, possesses wonderful vision, and is deadly when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.
A loan deal would be the ideal outcome for all parties concerned. It would provide Reds youngster with the opportunity to play regularly, and learn the nuances of the game, which would improve him as an all-round player.
Wolves would benefit by having a player of the Liverpool man’s quality amongst their ranks, and it would also be in the Merseyside outfit’s best interest for the 17-year-old to learn the game whilst playing on a regular basis.
And if Nuno manages to bring Woodburn to Molineux this summer, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for Wolves.
