Ipswich Town and Portsmouth interested in Ben Woodburn – reports

Ipswich Town and Portsmouth are reportedly interested in loaning Ben Woodburn from Liverpool

The 20-year-old is certain to go out on loan again from Anfield after Jurgen Klopp made a decision on his short-term future.

Woodburn spent time at Oxford last year, but he was limited to 16 appearances, due to a fractured foot.

Despite his injury troubles, he had one goal and five assists for the U’s last season.
