Leeds United have been linked with Liverpool striker Ben Woodburn ahead of the January transfer window.

Thomas Christiansen has provided an intriguingly evasive answer to Leeds Live, when asked whether Leeds United are attempting to sign Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn in January.

Leeds have been strongly linked with the Liverpool youngster in recent weeks, with suggestions that a loan move could be possible.

And when asked whether Woodburn would be joining, Christiansen said: “I will pass your question on to Victor [Orta].”

Orta is the man in charge of transfers at Leeds, and he is expected to be busy next month.

The Whites are targeting additions, as they look to strengthen their bid for promotion.

Leeds are currently one point outside the play off spots, and getting their recruitment right in January could be the difference between making the top six or not.

Woodburn does not have much first-team experience behind him, but the striker is very highly regarded at Liverpool.

Woodburn actually scored his first senior goal for Liverpool in last season’s EFL Cup.

Leeds are expected to have competition for Woodburn, if they do attempt to sign the Welsh international next month.
